Rishi Sunak corrected the Commons record on Covid-19: Economic Package

2 June 2020 · Commons Hansard, Written Corrections · Treasury

The correction was made by letter from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and printed in Hansard's Written Corrections on 2 June 2020. The figure £8 billion in the original became £6.8 billion in the correction. Altogether 2 words differ between the two versions.

The question

Yesterday I asked the Prime Minister about engagement with the devolved Governments in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. I would like to try again today, and I hope receive a more detailed response from the Chancellor. Can he please outline what specific conversations he had with the devolved Administrations about these changes and when those conversations took place?

Original	Corrected
My right hon. Friend the Chief Secretary to the Treasury speaks regularly to his counterparts in the devolved Administrations, and we engage with them regularly. I am pleased to say that more than £8 billion of Barnett consequentials has been provided to devolved Administrations across the UK as they have also responded to the virus, and that will continue to be the case. We will get through this as one nation, all together.	My right hon.
