The Barnett formula is a mechanism used by the Treasury in the UK to automatically adjust the amounts of public expenditure allocated to Northern IrelandScotland and Wales to reflect changes in spending levels allocated to public services in England. The formula applies to a large proportion, but not the whole, of the devolved governments' budgets.
