Answer

The outcome of the Spending Review announced on 25 November 2020, provided the Executive with £73.6 million Financial Transactions Capital for 2021-22.

This was as a result of the application of the Barnett formula on reduced Financial Transactions Capital expenditure in England in 2021-22 when compared to expenditure in 2020-21.
