The totals in the tables may not correspond exactly to the sum of their parts because of roundings. With the exception of programmes 16.1 and 16.2, the later years' figures are subject to the Secretary of State's discretion to apportion expenditure among his individual services, and final decisions on the distribution of expenditure for those years have yet to be taken.
