The Barnett formula is designed to ensure that Devolved Administrations are funded in a transparent way to deliver their priorities within their devolved responsibilities.</p><p> </p><p>The government has also recently agreed a new fiscal framework for the Welsh Government, which both governments agree is fair for Wales and for the rest of the UK.
