Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government how much additional funding they provided to each of the devolved authorities to cover the additional costs to public sector employers as a result of the increased rates of National Insurance.

At the Budget, the Chancellor provided funding to the public sector to support them with the additional cost associated with changes to employer National Insurance Contributions.

The devolved governments will receive funding through the Barnett formula in the usual way in 2025-26.

Devolved government settlements are growing in real terms in 2025-26 and are the largest settlements in real terms of any since devolution. Overall, the devolved governments receive at least 20% more funding per person than equivalent UK Government spending in the rest of the UK. That translates into over £16 billion more in 2025-26.
