Notes

1. All figures are on the basis of RSG relevant current expenditure. To be consistent with the format adopted in the Government's expenditure plans, central administration expenditure is included in the expenditure on each service.

2. Although final/near final outturn totals for 1982–83 are available on an individual authority basis, information on expenditure on services rests on provisional outturn data.

3. Budget estimates for 1983–84 are those originally submitted by authorities, after minor adjustments for incorrect classifications of expenditure.

4. For 1984–85, the definition of relevant expenditure has been changed to include, within miscellaneous services, the costs of administering housing benefits for claimants in receipt of supplementary benefit.
