HC Deb 12 July 2002 vol 388 c1241W
Mr. Liddell-Grainger

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if the calculations relating to the provision for Scotland under the Barnett formula are based upon spend per head of population on(a) health and (b) education. [69400]

Mr. Boateng

The Barnett formula provides the devolved Administrations with a population based share of comparable increases in spending of UK Government departments, including the Department of Health and the Department for Education and Skills.
