<p>The Block Grant Transparency publication (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/block-grant-transparency-december-2017-publication)
sets out details of all additions to the Devolved Administrations’ budgets since the
2015 Spending Review. The Barnett Formula will have been applied to all changes to
the DCMS budget at both Spending Reviews and at Fiscal Events in the normal way as
set out in the Statement of Funding Policy.</p><p> </p><p>Companies from across the
country have been directly engaged in legacy infrastructure and projects - for example,
South Wales based Pro Steel were awarded contracts as part of the transformation of
the Olympic Stadium roof post-2012 Games, they secured a £1m loan to enable them to
compete for the work from Finance Wales. Pro Steel were also awarded a subcontract
by BAM Nuttal for transformation work in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park post games consisting
of re-purposing and construction of a bridge in the north of the Park near the Velodrome.
They were also awarded the contract to make modifications and strengthening works
to another bridge, and supply and installation of a third bridge.</p><p> </p><p>Last
week I met with my counterparts in Wales and Scotland to discuss the many opportunities
the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games presents to the whole of the UK. The department
and I look forward to continuing to work closely with the devolved nations to ensure
the many opportunities the Games presents - from hosting the Queen's Baton Relay to
providing a base for athletes to train - are seized across the country.</p>
