Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the news story, Chancellor sets out extra £750 million coronavirus funding for frontline charities, published on 8 April 2020, how much of the £60 million allocated to the devolved administrations has been (a) allocated and (b) received by organisations in the devolved regions to date; and how much was allocated to each devolved administration.

On 24 July, the UK Government made an unprecedented upfront guarantee to the devolved administrations. The UK Government guaranteed that they will receive at least £12.7bn in additional resource funding this year on top of their Spring Budget funding. The Scottish Government has been guaranteed £6.5bn, the Welsh Government £4bn, and the Northern Ireland Executive £2.2bn. The Barnett consequentials associated with the coronavirus funding for charities will make up a part of these guarantees.

It is for the devolved administrations to decide how much of their funding they use to support charitable organisations within their respective nations.
