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 as a result of funding for the HS2 programme, and the Scottish Government has received Barnett consequentials as a result.<\/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.\u202f As 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 cannot be identified.<\/p>
The Barnett formula will continue to apply in the usual way as per the Statement of Funding Policy to any additional funding subsequently confirmed in this Spending Review period.

Cultivation of the cannabis plant, including the use of the whole plant, already takes place under licence in the UK. The Home Office\u2019s Drug and Firearms Licensing Unit operates two licensing regimes to enable lawful cannabis cultivation, depending on the purpose for which the cannabis is cultivated, and the levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in the plants.
