PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Housing: Insulation (9 December 2021)

The Welsh Government is receiving an average of £2.5 billion per year through the Barnett formula on top of its £15.9 billion annual baseline over the Spending Review 2021 period. This is the largest annual block grant, in real terms, of any spending review settlement since the devolution acts in 1998.

This settlement includes Barnett consequentials on changes in the overall level of funding provided to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, which is responsible for cladding remediation in England. It is for the Welsh Government to allocate this funding as it sees fit across its devolved responsibilities including tackling unsafe cladding in residential properties in Wales.
