Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether expenditure on the Service Pupil Premium in England generates Barnett consequentials for the Welsh Government; and if so, what the value of those consequentials is in the 2026-27 financial year.

The Department for Education received funding for the Service Pupil Premium at Spending Review 2025, and the Barnett formula was applied in the usual way to changes in the Department for Education’s DEL budget.

At Spending Reviews, because the Barnett formula is not applied to the individual programmes driving the change in a UK department’s DEL budget, the Barnett consequentials associated with the Service Pupil Premium cannot be identified.

The Block Grant Transparency publication includes a breakdown of changes in the devolved governments’ block grant funding. The most recent report was published in October 2025.
