Whilst we recognise the Barnett formula is not perfect, all allocation systems have strengths and weaknesses. The Barnett formula is simple, efficient and provides a clear and certain outcome. For this reason, it has stood the test of time.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Barnett formula ensures the same change in funding per person across the whole of the UK, while the underlying baseline funding reflects that needs are higher in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The devolved administrations are receiving over 20% more funding per person than equivalent UK Government spending in other parts of the UK.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4726", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Penn"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Penn"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-02-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "HL5383"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-02-15T13:03:17.527Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-02-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Public Expenditure"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to assess the (1) effectiveness, and (2) appropriateness, of funding through the Barnett formula for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4970", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Weir of Ballyholme"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Weir of Ballyholme"} ], "uin" : "HL5382"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1402901", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1402901/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

We recognise the significant challenge the pandemic poses to our arts and creative sectors and to the many individuals and freelancers working across these industries.<\/p>

DCMS officials have been engaging with HMRC, the Creative Industries Federation (CIF), Arts Council England, and leading organisations such as \u2018What\u2019s Next\u2019 and individual freelancers within the sector to better understand the level of impact the pandemic has had on the sector and those working in it.<\/p>

We have supported freelancers through the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS) which was extended at Budget to September 2021. Freelancers are also supported through the unprecedented Culture Recovery Fund support package, which has helped ensure the venues and organisations which support them have survived the pandemic. We were also pleased to announce Government funding via Arts Council England last December of an immediate £1.5 million emergency support for freelancers affected by the pandemic, alongside a further £1.35 million contribution from the theatre sector.<\/p>

We will continue to work closely with freelancers and organisations across the sectors to see how we can best provide support to those affected.<\/p>

I recognise the importance of Local Government\u2019s role in creating sustainable communities across the country.

We remain concerned about the humanitarian situation in Gaza and continue to monitor it closely, including the effect electricity shortages are having on the health sector. The UK will continue to urge all the parties to prioritise progress towards reaching a durable solution for Gaza and to take the necessary practical steps to improve conditions, including restoring the availability of electricity as a matter of urgency.

The Ministry of Justice intends to launch the competition for the operational contract for the Secure College Pathfinder this year and education provision will form part of this overall contract. The Ministry of Justice expects potential providers to put forward innovative solutions that address the individual needs of the young people in the Secure College.<\/p>

<\/p>

The timetable for the competition, which will determine dates for the tender period and contract award, is under consideration. The competition will ensure that sufficient time is allowed to enable potential providers to fully understand a new specification, the needs and complexities of these young people and the challenging environment in which they will be required to work. The timetable will be made available on the launch of competition.<\/p>
