Scottish Finance Secretary Shona Robison said the tax hike could cost the SNP 500m.

She said Scotland must be fully compensated for National Insurance hike for public sector employers.

Scottish public sector funds a proportionally larger public sector workforce than in the UK as a whole.

UK government said extra funds would be provided on top of 3.4bn to make up for extra staff costs.
