asked Her Majesty's Government:

How much additional spending on education and health announced in the Budget will be allocated to Wales. [HL1684]

Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton

Wales will receive £49.6 million of the increase in education funding for 2000–01, and £1,299 million of the increase in health funding, which is for the financial years 2000–01 to 2003–04. The use of these resources is a matter for the National Assembly for Wales to decide. The Finance Secretary set out her proposals in the Assembly's debate on the Budget on 28 March.
