The Soft Drinks Industry Levy applies across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern
Ireland. In England, the new levy revenue will be invested in giving school-aged children
a brighter and healthier future. The Barnett formula will apply to this spending in
the normal way, and it will be for the Devolved Administrations to choose how they
allocate this funding.<p> </p><p>As a result of funding allocated for these purposes
to the Department for Education at Budget 2016, the Scottish Government, Welsh Government
and a Northern Ireland Executive will receive £36.7m, £21.2m and £12.3m respectively
in 2018/19.</p><p> </p><p>Subsequent changes to the levy-funded spending package in
England have had no impact on these allocations.</p>
