1 This table is derived from Table 3.14 in the Government's Expenditure Plans 1987–88 to 1989–90 Vol, 2 (Cm, 56–II); all figures have been converted to 1986–87 prices using the GDP deflator.

2 Footnotes to the original table have not been reproduced, but still apply.

3 For 1985–86, the figure of £100 million in the White Paper was an error. This has been corrected to £124 million before revaluing to 1986–87 prices. The corrected figure is also reflected in the totals for NHS, HPSS and DHSS expenditure.
