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
