Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much of the revenue raised from the soft drinks industry levy will go to (a) Scotland, (b) Wales, and (c) Northern Ireland as a consequence of the Barnett Formula in the next financial year.

This question was answered on 1st December 2017
The Soft Drinks Industry Levy applies across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. In England, the new levy revenue will be invested in giving school-aged children a brighter and healthier future. The Barnett formula will apply to this spending in the normal way, and it will be for the Devolved Administrations to choose how they allocate this funding.

As a result of funding allocated for these purposes to the Department for Education at Budget 2016, the Scottish Government, Welsh Government and a Northern Ireland Executive will receive £36.7m, £21.2m and £12.3m respectively in 2018/19.

Subsequent changes to the levy-funded spending package in England have had no impact on these allocations.
