1 For 1979–80 to 1986–87, the entries comprise local authority expenditure on roads. For 1987 onwards, because of a change in expenditure classification, the entries comprise central Government support for local authorities in terms of grant and credit approvals—which do not reflect the total sum of local authority expenditure on roads.
