Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will allocate additional funds to the devolved Administrations for community youth groups.

Youth policy is a devolved matter. The devolved administrations are allocated funding using the Barnett formula. It is for the devolved administrations to determine how much of their funding to allocate to youth provision, including community youth groups, in their respective areas.

Future funding for youth provision is subject to future fiscal events, and the Barnett formula will be applied.
