Proceeding contribution from Iain Stewart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Scotland Bill.
Scotland Bill
Does my hon. Friend agree that the operation of the Barnett formula in its strictest sense will protect the Scottish budget at times of reduction in the overall UK level of public spending? A population change is taken on the basis of a higher-than-average base line, so in times of public expenditure reductions, that will protect the Scottish block.
