<p>I regularly engage with Ministers of the Scottish Government on a wide range of
economic matters. As last week’s independent OBR estimates show, revenues from the
North Sea are forecast to be negative for the next three years. March’s GERS figures
show Scotland’s public spending was almost £15 billion more than its tax revenue in
the last financial year. Thankfully, the north east of Scotland can rely on the broad
shoulders of the United Kingdom to see it through these difficult times.</p><p> </p>
