Information paper on finance – the operation of the Barnett Formula

Monday, 09 March 1998

i27881

The document provides an in-depth explanation of the operation of the Barnett formula as it pertains to the allocation of Northern Ireland Block spending plans. It outlines how the formula, which also applies to Scotland and Wales, simplifies the process by using population proportions to adjust spending based on changes in comparable programs in Great Britain. The document details the calculation steps and exceptions, noting that certain programs like Social Security benefits and National Agriculture are determined separately. Additionally, it mentions that while the formula is generally not subject to in-year changes, any significant revisions would require comprehensive studies and consultations, with no current statement on changes for Northern Ireland.
