The devolved administrations received £6bn of Barnett consequentials at Main Estimates 2020-21 and will formally receive the remainder of the guaranteed funding at Supplementary Estimates towards the end of the financial year.

The Barnett consequentials associated with the funding for charities in England will contribute up to £106m to these guarantees.
