</p><p>As set out in HM Treasury’s Statement of Funding Policy, the Barnett formula
is generally applied at departmental level at Spending Reviews/Rounds and at programme
level at fiscal events. Since 2010, HS2 has received all its funding through the Department
for Transport’s settlements at Spending Reviews/Rounds where Barnett has been applied
at departmental level. The spending on HS2 is not therefore associated with specific
Barnett consequentials.</p><p> </p><p>HM Treasury’s Spending Review/Round documents
set out the block grant funding for the Scottish Government. Documents relating to
SR10, SR13, SR15 and SR19 can be found on the gov.uk website.</p><p> </p><p>Following
UK Government decisions at Spending Round 2019, the Scottish Government benefitted
from an increase of over £1.2bn in the Barnett-based block grant, which will increase
to £34.4bn in 2020-21.</p>
