Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the Barnett consequentials are for Wales from the Nottingham light rail project.

The Barnett formula is being applied in the normal way to any planned changes in the Department for Transport’s budget, as set out in the Statement of Funding Policy.

Full details of any Barnett consequentials for the Welsh Government will be set out at future fiscal events, estimates rounds and spending reviews.

The UKG has so far announced almost £7 billion in Barnett consequentials to the devolved administrations in response to Covid-19.

This means £2.1 billion for the Welsh Government to support people, business and public services in Wales. This includes over £200m of Barnett consequentials in relation to Covid-19 funding announced by the UK government for railway services in England.
