Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much consequential funding the Scottish Government receives for Home Building Funds and the Land and Infrastructure Funds, broken down by spending type.

The Barnett formula applies to all increases or decreases to Departmental Expenditure Limits (DEL). Whenever UK Government departmental budgets change, the Barnett formula is applied in the usual way, as set out in the Statement of Funding Policy.

It is for the devolved governments to allocate their Barnett-based funding as they see fit, and they are accountable to the devolved legislatures for those decisions.

The published Block Grant Transparency document provides a detailed breakdown of how the block grants are calculated. The most recent report was published in July 2023: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/block-grant-transparency-july-2023
