Notes:
1. Before 1987–88 data is only available on a calendar year basis. It is not possible to compare expenditure produced on a calendar year basis with that produced on a financial year basis. The calendar year data has been deflated to constant 1993 prices.
2. The 1993–94 figures are provisional until the publication of the 1993–94 edition of British Aid Statistics.
