Swinney to reveal figures until 2016

Finance Secretary John Swinney has bowed to opposition pressure to publish spending plans beyond the one-year budget he announced last month.

He revealed his U-turn in a statement to MSPs yesterday after weeks of pressure from opposition parties, local authorities and other organisations which wanted him to stick to the normal cycle of outlining funding figures for three years.
