To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether there are plans to adapt the Integrated Rail Plan forward programme to include consequential funding for Wales under the Barnett formula.
Huw Merriman
Minister of State (Department for Transport)
The Barnett formula is a matter for the Treasury. The Barnett formula applies to changes in UK Government departments’ funding and has been applied in the usual way, as set out in the Statement of Funding Policy, in relation to funding for the IRP.
The Government has committed to delivering the IRP as set out in November 2022. The plans set out in the IRP will bring benefits to Wales including making it easier for passengers from North Wales to access HS2 services.
