The UK Government contribution to the 2022 Commonwealth Games budget is subject to the Barnett Formula, which HM Treasury will apply in the normal way. The Treasury will work with the devolved administrations to update and publish comparability factors in a revised Statement of Funding Policy alongside the next Spending Review.
