Scotland’s Finance Secretary has asked the UK Government if extra funding will be provided following the release of a £3.3bn (€3.87bn) package for Northern Ireland.

The funding was announced in December but could be released if Stormont reconvenes following the UK Government deal with the DUP on post-Brexit trade.
