Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if Barnett consequentials will be made available to the Scottish Government to reflect the investment made by the UK Government in HS2 in England.

As set out in the Statement of Funding Policy, both Crossrail and High Speed 2 are considered devolved for the purposes of operating the Barnett Formula. The Scottish Government therefore receive Barnett consequentials on changes to funding for these programmes.
