Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hollis of Heigham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 15 June 2011. It occurred during Question for short debate on Barnett Formula.
Barnett Formula
Nobody tonight has queried the propriety of a block grant that allows the devolved Administrations to determine how they allocate their expenditure within that block grant, nor was it raised during the debate that my noble friend Lord Davies answered. The criticism has been about the size of that block grant, which is based on out-of-date, inappropriate and deeply unfair estimates.
