1The voted provision for 1999–2000 and 2001–01—as published in the Home Office Annual Report for 2000—was £60 million and £160 million respectively. The figures in the table differ from those in the report because they reflect updated profiles of planned expenditure
2 Provision comes from the Capital Modernisation Fund
3 The total figure excludes central and regional programme support costs, which are not allocated to particular initiatives.

Note:

The third year of the programme (2001–02) is covered by Spending Review 2000

The table shows actual expenditure for the first year of the programme (1999–2000) and the budgeted provision for the second year (2000–01). Although not reflected in these expenditure figures, over £250 million has now been committed to over 1,100 projects under all programme initiatives and further bids are under consideration. Action is continuing to expedite the allocation of the remaining funds and implementation of projects through the Crime Reduction Directors and other measures in support of partnerships.
