Recommendation 12
12
Paragraph: 76
Reduced UK public spending negatively impacts Northern Ireland's block grant and Barnett formula allocations.
Conclusion
Decisions by UK Governments to reduce overall UK public spending have a significant impact on the funding Northern Ireland receives through the block grant, which makes up the vast majority of its expenditure. With tighter budgets in England, annual allocations to Northern Ireland under the Barnett formula have been squeezed.
