HC Deb 19 November 1992 vol 214 c326W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what was the population-based formula for public expenditure for Wales, referred to in his press notice of 12 November, as it applied for(a) 1992–93 and (b) 1993–94.

Mr. David Hunt

The population-based formula for public expenditure which applied until 1992–93 provided adjustments in the Welsh block provision equal to 5–88 per cent. of the survey changes agreed for comparable programmes in England. For 1993–94 the formula has been updated to 6.02 per cent. to take account of the latest estimated population relativity between the two countries.
