Derek Mackay, Scottish finance secretary, said that this was a budget of stimulus and stability.
“It delivers for today and invests in tomorrow and does so with fairness, equality and inclusiveness at its heart.
“This budget delivers the public services, social contract and economic investment people expect while mitigating – where we can – the impacts of the UK government’s policies of austerity and Brexit that are causing so much harm.”
