1 In 1980–81 the London Boroughs of Hackney and Islington were treated as one UP authority.

Notes:

UP funding figures for 1980–81 and 1986–87 are actual outturn figures adjusted by GDP deflator indices to constant 1994 prices. UP funding figures for 1993–94 are forcast outturns. For all the three financial years grant was paid at 75 per cent. of actual expenditure.

The blank spaces in the table mean that the authority was not a UP authority in that financial year.

The UP partnerships of Newcastle/Gateshead and Manchester/Salford have not been split because historic outturn data was not kept by constituent authority.
