Notes:

1994–95 figures for Lincolnshire and Essex and 1995–96 figures for Essex were not available. The compilers adjusted the grand total for comparison.

From 1996–97, expenditure was recorded net of police loan charges grant on pre-April 1990 debt charges.

Loan charge grant for 1993–94 to 1995–96 has been deducted from forces' expenditure for comparative purposes.

Deductions for loan charge grants have been made at the grand total level only for 1990–91 to 1992–93 (ca. £30 million per annum).

Percentage changes have been calculated in real terms at 1999–2000 prices using GDP deflators (March 2001).
