Mr. Mellor
Most public expenditure is planned on a national basis and there is no geographical disaggregation apart from expenditure which is the responsibility of the territorial Departments. However, in order to provide a more comprehensive breakdown of public expenditure within the four countries of the United Kingdom an additional analysis, covering outturn years, is carried out each year. This analysis allocates, where possible, general Government expenditure to England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland and, therefore, includes within the territories a wider coverage of expenditure than that for which the Secretaries of State for Scotland, for Wales and for Northern Ireland are directly responsible.
The analysis divides spending into "identifiable" and "non-identifiable" expenditure. The term "identifiable expenditure" refers to expenditure that can be identified from official records as having been incurred for the benefit of people in a particular country. The coverage of identifiable expenditure has been changed since last year's exercise to produce a greater consistency of treatment between different types of expenditure. In the following analyses of territorial spending all expenditure on common services—for example, revenue and tax collection, financial administration—has been treated as unidenti-fiable. In previous years this category of expenditure was not treated in a consistent manner. This change reduces identifiable expenditure by around £3 billion—2 per cent. —but does not appreciably affect the index of per capita expenditure between territories. Unidentifiable expen-diture mainly consists of expenditure deemed to have been

Tables 1 to 5 show figures for identifiable general Government expenditure according to main function in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in the years 1985–86 to 1989–90. The tables show identifiable general Government expenditure in each territory in total and on a per capita basis. The per capita figures are based on mid-year population estimates. Figures for earlier years are not available on a totally consistent basis with those given in these tables.
Table 6 compares expenditure by function in the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland programmes in 1989–90 with the total identifiable expenditure in the respective countries. It shows that identifiable expenditure has a wider coverage than expenditure within the responsibilities of the Secretaries of State for Scotland and Wales; in the case of Northern Ireland it has a slightly wider coverage than the Northern Ireland programme. The table also shows, for 1989–90, unidentifiable expenditure where this can be allocated to function.
In some cases, expenditure which cannot be separately identified for England, Scotland or Wales can be allocated to Great Britain rather than to the United Kingdom; for example, the majority of the finance provided for expenditure by the nationalised industries can be allocated to Great Britain. Tables 7a and 7b compare Northern Ireland allocated expenditure with that allocated to Great Britain over the five-year period.
The extent to which expenditure can be identified may vary from year to year and between countries. The coverage of particular functions can also vary between countries; for example, in Northern Ireland, expenditure on arts and libraries is contained in the education category.
The terms and definitions used for this analysis are the same as those used for the recent autumn statement—Cm. 1311—but the figures are based on less up-to-date outturn information.
