Football: Women

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the Barnett Formula consequential funding for Wales will be of the announcement of 29t November 2023 of £30 million for women and girls football in England; and when the Welsh government will receive that funding.

Answer

The Barnett formula is applied when departmental budgets change – not when departments announce how they are spending their budgets. When the Department for Culture Media and Sport’s budget changes in relation to this funding, the Barnett formula will apply in the usual way as set out in the published Statement of Funding Policy document.
