Lord Barnett Excerpts

Tuesday 12th March 2013 Lords Chamber

[Lord Morgan]

My Lords—

[Lord Barnett]

My Lords, the Barnett formula, which, sadly, bears my name, should have been changed a long time ago, as a powerful Select Committee of this House, chaired by my noble friend Lord Richard, and many other senior Members of the House have recommended. When is that recommendation going to be put into effect by the Government?

[Lord Newby]

Not during the course of this Parliament, my Lords.
