The Barnett formula applies to all changes in UK Government Departmental Expenditure Limits, including the Home Office, as set out in the Statement of Funding Policy. The Block Grant Transparency publication breaks down all changes to the Northern Ireland Executive’s block grant funding since Spending Review 2015. The most recent report was published in October 2025.
