The Scotland Act of 2012 caps the region’s deficit at 10% of its budget and limits how much the Scottish government can borrow. These issues are now likely to be reopened with further devolution.
2012年苏格兰法将地区预算上限定在预算的10%，并限制了苏格兰政府可以借贷的上限。如今，这一问题可能因为进一步分权而重新开启。但考虑地区政府的债务和赤字上限和取消不是一回事。其他联邦的经验表明后者将是一个错误。
