(2) The total charge may not be the sum of the constituent parts, as a result of rounding.

(3) The figures for Lothian regional council and Edinburgh district council take account of the rate reductions proposed by the Secretary of State in the reports he laid before Parliament on 10 July. The figure for Clackmannan district council takes account of a rate reduction which the Council propose to make, as announced on 10 July.
