She demanded that Chancellor Sajid Javid apologise for the lack of information in the budget surrounding Scotland. However, the Tory minister refused to back down, and hit out at the opposition party for their own policies. Ms Thewliss said: “The Bank of England has said that pessimism and uncertainty in Brexit has had an impact on investment and productivity. “This uncertainty has been compounded in Scotland because our Government only found out today, in the media, when the UK Government will finally be setting its budget. “With absolutely no certainty as to whether that budget will include the £1.2 billion of Barnett consequential funding promised by the Prime Minister during the election campaign. “Can I ask the Chancellor when he intends to meet with the Scottish Finance Minister to apologise?” The Chancellor shot back: “It is important when it comes to productivity that the Scottish government plays its role. “It should examine its own policies, especially its policies on tax and infrastructure and skills. “And how it has let down the Scottish people time and time again.” Alison Thewliss has been named as finance spokeswoman, Phillipa Whitford becomes spokeswoman for exiting the EU and Anne McLaughlin will be the spokeswoman for women and equalities. SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford said the MPs will work hard to "stand up for Scotland's interests". He said: “The new SNP team at Westminster will be a strong and united opposition - standing up for Scotland in the face of the growing threats of Brexit and an extreme Tory Government. "I'm delighted to welcome fresh faces and expertise to the SNP's frontbench team.” Trending He continued: “Our newly elected MPs will bring a wealth of talent and experience from their careers in our NHS, schools, business, journalism and international affairs to defend Scotland's interests and hold Boris Johnson's hard-right Government to account. "The SNP won a landslide victory at the general election on a mandate to hold an independence referendum. “While the Tories and their Brexit plans were overwhelmingly rejected by people in Scotland. "With the Tory Government intent on dragging Scotland out of the EU against our will and whatever the cost, the democratic right of the people of Scotland to choose our own future must be respected. "SNP MPs will work hard to stand up for Scotland's interests and ensure people in Scotland have a say over our future - instead of having it dictated to us by Westminster."
