Notes:

1. Small changes from 1990–91 to 1991–92 are unlikely to be significant.

2. Figures in brackets are particularly uncertain; the range in which the true change lies is greater than +/-2.5 percentage points and greater than 30 per cent. of the estimate.

3. Figures are rounded to the nearest whole per cent.
