Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what funding allocation Scotland will receive as a result of Barnett formula determinations on spending in preparation for the UK leaving the EU without a withdrawal agreement.

The Government has provided more than £4.2 billion of additional funding to prepare for EU Exit since 2016, including over £2 billion for core activities in 2019-20 for deal and no deal scenarios.

The 2019-20 allocations were announced in a Written Ministerial Statement on 18 December 2018, with the Scottish Government allocated £54.7m through the Barnett Formula.

This follows the Scottish Government’s £37.3m Barnett-based allocation from a £1.5 billion fund in 2018-19.
