Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 22 June 2010.


Northern Ireland: Public Expenditure

Question
My Lords, can the Minister help me? I thought that the coalition Government’s policy was to implement the recommendations of the Calman report—which specifically said that we should move to a needs-based system of funding, in line with the unanimous recommendation of the committee of this House which looked at the Barnett formula in great detail not some time ago but in the last Session of Parliament.
Answer

My Lords, the need for "due time" is also apparent with the Calman report. It is a matter for consideration by the coalition Government.
