answer text <p>Access to Child Benefit follows the long-standing Government policy that those who have not established their right to remain permanently in the UK should not have welfare provision on the same basis as those whose citizenship or status here gives them an entitlement to benefits. All those admitted to the UK for a temporary purpose are required, under the immigration rules, to be able to maintain and accommodate themselves without recourse to public funds.</p><p> </p><p>For this reason, apart from specified exceptions – set out in the Social Security (Immigration and Asylum Consequential Amendments) Regulations 2000 – persons subject to immigration control are not eligible for Child Benefit.</p> more like this

answer text <p>There has been a total spend up to 31 March 2019 of £7.4bn made up of HS2 Ltd spend and spend by the Department for Transport on HS2 Land and Property. The profile of this spend is set out in the table below. These numbers have been taken from Departmental accounts and exclude £0.6bn incurred by HS2 Ltd to date on construction VAT.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Total spend on HS2 excluding construction VAT (£m)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009-10</p></td><td><p>9.5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010-11</p></td><td><p>14.6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011-12</p></td><td><p>34.2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>182.8</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>207.9</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>185.2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015-16</p></td><td><p>348.9</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>1,466.5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017-18</p></td><td><p>2,767.2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018-19</p></td><td><p>2,191.4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total</p></td><td><p>7,408.2</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </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>
