BARNETT FORMULA

25 November 19991 Signature

Motion Text

That this House recognises that the Barnett Formula is outmoded in that it has failed to recognise the changing needs of Wales since it was first established in 1978; calls for its replacement by a formula which is based on explicit need indicators; and further calls on the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in consultation with the National Assembly for Wales, to devise such a new formula.
