§ Mr. CousinsTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to his answers of 15 October 2001,Official Report, columns 854W-56W, if he will distinguish between total managed expenditure for 1999–2000 in United Kingdom Department programmes comparable with programmes covered by the Barnett formula in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and total managed expenditure in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland in programmes not compared for the purposes of the Barnett formula. [11012]
§ Mr. Andrew SmithSeparate figures are not published for the English equivalent of devolved programmes. Furthermore, it is for the devolved administrators to allocate funding to programmes within their block allocations. However, the Statement of Funding Policy published by the Treasury in July 2000 set out the Barnett formula including the comparability factors used in the formula and information on which elements of the devolved administrations' budgets are determined by the Barnett formula. Data for 1999–2000 relating to DEL expenditure are given in table 1.17 of Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses published in April 2001.
Other elements of UK Departmental spending programmes are treated as Annually Managed Expenditure. Details of AME spend are shown in Table 1.16 of PESA.
