Only seven per cent of adults across the UK thought that the Barnett formula should continue unchanged. Three-quarters of English voters want the Barnett formula to be reviewed or abolished. Some 43 per cent said the formula should be abolished because Scotland would have new powers to raise money through tax and borrowing. A further 32 per cent of adults in England agreed that the Barnett formula should be reviewed by independent experts who would decide whether it should be reformed or scrapped.
