Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions the Government has had with (a) the Scottish Government, (b) the Welsh Government and (c) the Northern Ireland Executive on the disbursement of Barnett consequentials resulting from the extraordinary funding and financing package for Transport for London announced on 1 November 2020.

Any additional funding provided to the Department for Transport to support Transport for London will result in Barnett consequentials for the devolved administrations.

As is the normal process,?changes to departmental and devolved administrations’ funding will be confirmed at Supplementary Estimates.

Therefore, to?give the devolved administrations the upfront certainty to plan and deliver their coronavirus response,?we have guaranteed they will receive at least £14bn in additional funding this year on top of their Spring Budget?funding. This means a total increase this year of at least £7.2bn for the Scottish Government, £4.4 billion for the Welsh Government, and £2.4 bn for the Northern Ireland Executive.
