§ Mr. Harold LeverThe table below shows, in the first column for each year, total public expenditure in the United Kingdom on goods and services, whether for current use or capital formation, including capital formation by public corporations and other public enterprises. Comparable figures for the other countries mentioned are shown as far as they are available. Since, for some countries, figures for public corporations and other public enterprises are not available, the second column for each year shows the expenditure restricted to that of central and local government. The figures throughout are shown as percentages of gross domestic product at factor cost, although they include some expenditure on imports which cannot be separately identified.
Report of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue. The figures exclude the incomes of persons with less than £275 (the effective tax exemption limit). Total net income is defined as total income before deducting personal allowances and reliefs, or tax. The population figures relate to mid-1965.
