Treasury written question – answered at on 16 December 2021.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much and what proportion of the consequential funding for Wales resulting from the £300 million uplift to the Culture Recovery Fund the Welsh Government has received as of 13 December 2021.
The Barnett formula applies to changes in departmental DEL budgets, not when departments make spending or policy announcements.
The UK government has provided the Welsh Government with an additional £3.8 billion of Barnett-based funding this year. It is for the Welsh Government to decide how to allocate this funding across its devolved responsibilities, including how to provide support to the culture sector.
If the Treasury provides additional funding to departments in areas that are devolved in Wales, then the Welsh Government will receive additional funding through the Barnett formula.
