question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 3 April 2019 to Question 238660, how much of the Barnett figures in the referenced publications derived from regional aid spending in (a) Scotland, (b) Wales, (c) Northern Ireland and (d) each region of England in each year since 2009.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/04/2019 answer text <p>The Barnett formula is applied to all changes in the budgets of UK Government departments rather than to specific areas of spending. It is not therefore possible to say how much funding the devolved administrations received in relation to departmental spending on regional aid in England.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, Barnett consequentials do not arise from any spending in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland where there is no change to UK Government departmental spending.</p><p> </p><p>EU funding for regional aid expenditure also does not attract Barnett consequentials as there are separate arrangements for allocating these funds between departments and the devolved administrations.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 10/04/2019 12:50:19 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2019 answer text <p>When the Child Maintenance Service makes a calculation it is based initially on gross income information received directly from HM Revenue and Customs. Taking information directly from HMRC allows us to capture a wide range of income types received by paying parents. Basing the assessment on gross income data has enabled the Child Maintenance Service to significantly speed up the set-up of new cases which can be key to securing regular payments.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 08/04/2019 12:55:59 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
