Two dates for your diary: 1. Our Scottish Fiscal Commission webinar discussing latest forecasts and policy costings for #ScotBudget next Wed at 11am (sign up on the SFC website) 2. Our modelling of Scottish Government plans to abolish the two-child limit will be published on Tuesday 7 Jan 👇


Our new Scottish Fiscal Commission report out today provides an update on Scottish Government plans to mitigate 2-child limit from 26/27. We estimate cost of £155m that year, rising to £198m in 29/30, with payments being made for around 43,000 children in 26/27. Payment worth over £3,500 per child.

Our first webinar is in less than a week! Join unit members Allison Catalano, David Jack and Fiona McHardy as they talk through our commentary and analysis from the end of 2024. This will be followed by a brief Q&A session. Sign up here: buff.ly/3VI1dyy
