1Budgets are shown in real terms using Treasury deflator as at 30 September 2003. 2002–03:100.
2Police Authorities in Wales, prior to 1995–96, were not precepting authorities and therefore did not have independent budgets. They received Home Office police grant and levied the rest of the income from their constituent counties. The figures from 1990–91 to 1994–95 represent net current expenditure by police authorities in Wales. Subsequent figures are for police authority budgets.
3Figures are not available for individual police authorities on a consistent basis prior to 1990–91.
4 Budgets for 2002–03 are not directly comparable with 2001–02 owing to changes in funding arrangements for NCS/NCIS, which have been funded centrally rather than locally since 2002–03.
