Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions he has had with the Welsh Government since the Senedd elections on (a) Barnett consequentials of fire safety remediation funds announced by his Department and (b) the design and operation of new taxes and levies related to fire and building safety.

The Welsh and UK governments regularly discuss a range of policy issues.

As part of the cladding remediation package announced by the UK Government this year the devolved administrations will receive additional funding through the Barnett formula at future fiscal events and spending reviews, except where new departmental spending is funded by an England-only levy.
