There is expenditure in Northern Ireland in other programmes. 2 The Northern Ireland Block comprises expenditure by the Northern Ireland Office and Northern Ireland Departments excluding National Agriculture and Fisheries Support. The allocation of expenditure for future years among the services included in the Northern Ireland Block (except social security benefit expenditure) may be altered at the discretion of the Secretary of State. Expenditure on national agriculture and fisheries support is not part of the Block because it is influenced to a greater extent than others by national and EC policies. 3 Includes expenditure financed by receipts from the European Communities. The amounts involved are as follows:
Financed by ERDF receipts 23 46 47 40 49 64 75 84 52 Financed by ESF receipts 53 56 36 46 51 54 52 49 50 Financed by EAGGF (Guidance section) receipts 1 9 13 9 10 38 28 25 17
