ever felt like you had been well and truly shafted Tory MPs say funding formula that benefits Scotland and robs Wales should be scrapped A deputation of Conservative backbenchers has told David Cameron he should scrap the controversial Barnett funding formula in a move that would see the “Vow” made to Scottish voters before last week’s independence referendum torn up. In addition to promises of extra powers for the Scottish Parliament, the leaders of the three main parties said the Barnett Formula – which gives Scotland an estimated £4bn per year more than it would receive from the Treasury on the basis of social need – would be retained. The same formula has been calculated to shortchange Wales by £300m per year. #jistsayaye #the45 #yesalliance walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/tory-mps-say-funding-formula-7814381
