Lord Barnett, the Jewish peer who gave his name to a famous public spending formula, has died aged 91.
He served as Chief Secretary to the Treasury in the Wilson and Callaghan Labour governments of the 1970s.
During that time he oversaw the creation of what became known as the Barnett Formula, the mechanism used to split public funding between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
In recent years Lord Barnett had argued that the system was unfair and should be revised following devolution.
