- 1. Expenditure has been assigned to local authority areas by matching postcodes against the relevant Office of National Statistics postcode directory.
- 2. Figures are based on a 5 per cent. sample and are therefore subject to a degree of sampling variation.
- 3. Because of relatively small sample sizes at local authority level, the figures are subject to a greater margin of error than would be associated with national level expenditure estimates; all results are rounded to the nearest £1 million, but may not be accurate to this level.
- 4. Totals may not sum due to rounding.
