Shadow Scottish Secretary David Mundell said: "This is not the real Budget. Whoever wins the general election, the real Budget will come after polling day."

The SNP said ahead of the Budget it wanted the Chancellor to announce fresh accelerated spending for Scotland, allowing Holyrood to bring forward some of its capital projects to help boost the recovery.
