The Chief Secretary to the Treasury (Mr Simon Clarke)
Recognising the pressures people are currently facing, on 3 February the Chancellor announced that households in England will receive a £150 council tax rebate. As a result of this measure, the supplementary estimates 2021-22 confirmed £576 million through the Barnett formula for the devolved Administrations. Exceptionally, the Chancellor set out that the devolved Administrations would have the flexibility to spend that funding this year or next.
The devolved Administrations have now all confirmed that they wish to carry forward this funding in full to spend in 2022-23. They will formally receive this funding at main estimates 2022-23.
£million | Scottish Government | Welsh Government | Northern Ireland Executive |
Resource DEL excluding depreciation | 295.954 | 180.196 | 100.066 |
The devolved Administrations’ 2021-22 funding as at supplementary estimates 2021-22 is therefore being reduced by the same amount.
In line with the statement of funding policy the Welsh Government is also switching £595 million from Resource DEL to Capital DEL (general).
This means that revised 2021-22 funding is as follows:
£million | Scottish Government | Welsh Government | Northern Ireland Executive |
Resource DEL excluding depreciation | 37,543.254 | 16,504,940 | 14,239.497 |
Capital DEL (general) | 5,326.302 | 2,985.238 | 1,817.601 |
Capital DEL (Financial Transactions) | 235.694 | 179.726 | 124.656 |
Total DEL | 43,105.250 | 19,669.905 | 16,181.754 |
