Funding for the HS2 programme has been provided to the Department for Transport\u2019s (DfT). The Barnett formula has applied changes to the DfT\u2019s budget to date due to funding for the HS2 programme, and the Northern Ireland Executive has received Barnett consequentials as a result.<\/p>
<\/p>
At spending reviews, the Barnett formula is applied to changes in each UK Government department\u2019s DEL budget with\u202fthe Barnett consequentials that arise then added to the devolved administrations\u2019 baseline block grants.\u202fAs the Barnett formula is not applied to changes in funding for all the individual programmes within a UK Government department\u2019s DEL budget, the Barnett consequentials associated with these individual programmes, such as HS2, cannot be identified.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Barnett formula will continue to apply to future changes to the DfT budget from funding for the HS2 programme.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4051", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for John Glen"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Salisbury"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "John Glen"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-10-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-10-18T14:13:20.717Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-10-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Public Expenditure: Northern Ireland"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the impact of changes to the HS2 scheme on Barnett funding for Northern Ireland.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4856", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Stephen Farry"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North Down"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Stephen Farry"} ], "uin" : "202066"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 1, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
