The Scottish and Westminster governments are trying to hammer out

:00:14.:00:17.

a deal on Scotland's finances that will suit both sides.

:00:18.:00:21.

At the moment, Scotland get a lump sum in cash every year from the

:00:22.:00:32.

Treasury. It is called the block grant. But it is going to change.

:00:33.:00:37.

The Scotland Bill, which is making its way through the Westminster

:00:38.:00:42.

Parliament will give me give new powers to Holyrood. Ministers want

:00:43.:00:47.

the best deal for Scotland and one which is fair to the rest of the UK.

:00:51.:01:03.

sides agree that the deal, -- that the deal comes with risk. If they

:01:04.:01:07.

important to our lives. These have fundamental consequences for the

:01:50.:01:55.

amount of money that future Scottish governors will have at their

:01:56.:01:59.

disposal, the amount of taxes that the arbitration will be expected to

:02:00.:02:05.

contribute, about the level of services that they can expect to be

provided. Chief Secretary to the Treasury will meet the Minister for

:02:11.:02:13.

talks tomorrow. Energy experts say they expect 150
