As explained in the White Paper (Cmnd. 9143-I, page 11), the plans for future years are in cash. Figures for programme totals adjusted for general inflation using the gross domestic product deflator assumption given in the autumn statement, will be found in table 1.14 of the White Paper. The relevant figures for Wales are:

£ million base year 1982–83
1983–84 1984–85
2,464 2,345

No other figures are available.
