answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2017 answer text <p>Like previous Northern Ireland support packages, and City Deals in Wales and Scotland, this funding is a targeted intervention to address a specific set of unique challenges.</p><p>And as was the case for those previous interventions, this exceptional funding will be made outside of the normal, ongoing, Barnett funding system. It will therefore not attract Barnett consequentials. It will be allocated as an addition to the Northern Ireland Executive’s regular block grant.</p><p>This is not unprecedented and Wales will continue to receive direct investment from the UK Government to support growth. Since 2014, the UK Government has committed over £600m of investment in Wales through City Deals and the government is committed to further City Deals. In addition, the government has also committed to £50m for the Compound Semi-Conductor Applications Catapult Centre in South Wales.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Vale of Glamorgan answering member printed Alun Cairns question first answered 03/07/2017 16:07:23 answering member 4086 label Biography information for Alun Cairns
