uin	HL5108
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2020 answer text <p>We have so far announced £7.4 billion of additional funding to the devolved administrations to support people, business and public services in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This means £3.8 billion for the Scottish Government, £2.3 billion for the Welsh Government and £1.3 billion for the Northern Ireland Executive.</p><p> </p><p>This is equivalent to £700 per head of the Scottish population, £730 per head of the Welsh population and £680 per head of the Northern Ireland population. The differences in these per head figures are partly due to the differing extent of devolved responsibilities and partly due to the nation-specific elements of the Barnett formula.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 15/06/2020 13:10:41 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton
