<p>Funding for the HS2 programme has been provided to the Department for Transport’s
(DfT). The Barnett formula has applied changes to the DfT’s budget to date as a result
of funding for the HS2 programme, and the Scottish Government has received Barnett
consequentials as a result.</p><p>At spending reviews, the Barnett formula is applied
to changes in each UK government department’s DEL budget with the Barnett consequentials
that arise then added to the devolved administrations’ baseline block grants. As
the Barnett formula is not applied to changes in funding for all the individual programmes
within a UK government department’s DEL budget, the Barnett consequentials associated
with these individual programmes cannot be identified.</p><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. All decisions on funding
beyond the Spending Review 21 period will be taken at the next Spending Review.</p>
