Written question asked by Ian Lucas (Labour) on Monday, 21 January 2019, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 23 January 2019. It was answered by Elizabeth Truss (Conservative) on Tuesday, 29 January 2019 on behalf of the Treasury.

Capital Investment

Question: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many individual capital projects were awarded to (a) Northern Ireland, (b) Wales and (c) Scotland in (i) 2017, (ii) 2018 and (iii) 2019 to date by the Government; and what was the value of those projects.

Answer

HM Treasury does not centrally hold information on all individual capital projects approved in (a) Northern Ireland, (b) Wales and (c) Scotland.

Capital projects in the Devolved Administrations are not funded through a single mechanism, nor is there a single decision-making body. In devolved policy areas funding comes from either i) central government, as in the case of the Belfast City Regional Deal at Autumn Budget 2018; or ii) from Devolved Administrations’ own capital budgets, which are set per the Barnett formula. Projects in reserved policy areas, such as Defence, are funded through central government. Because there is no central funding source or decision-making body, we do not hold a complete record of individual capital projects approved in (a) Northern Ireland, (b) Wales and (c) Scotland in (i) 2017, (ii) 2018 and (iii) 2019.
