Notes:

1. These figures do not include capital expenditure from current revenue or for Housing from 1982–83 onwards and for other programmes from 1981–82 onwards, expenditure met from capital receipts. Such expenditure is outwith capital allocations.

2. Block allocations were not issued on the Housing programme until 1978–79 and those shown for Housing for 1983–84 are provisional.
