Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Government of Wales Bill.
Government of Wales Bill
The Minister will be aware that Lord Barnett, the instigator of the Barnett formula, feels embarrassed that it still bears his name and thinks that it should be changed. Why does he ignore the advice of the inventor of the formula that he seeks to defend, refuse to create a needs-based formula, and stick to an arcane formula that its inventor says is out of date?
