Proceeding contribution from Roger Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Dormant Bank and Building Society Accounts Bill [Lords].
Dormant Bank and Building Society Accounts Bill [Lords]
I commend the hon. Gentleman on his work on such matters. He mentioned the Big Lottery Fund. He will be aware that any funds going to Wales will be distributed on the basis of the Big Lottery Fund formula of 6.5 per cent., rather than on the Barnett formula of 5.85 per cent.—in other words, on the basis of a needs-based formula, rather than a per capita formula. Does he think that now is a good time for the Government to look into the Barnett formula again and to come round to the Big Lottery Fund formula, which is much more appropriate?
