Dr. Whitehead

The information requested is not readily available. However, an analysis by function and country of total managed expenditure for the years 1995–96 to 1999–2000 can be found in Chapter 8 of the "Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses 2001–02" (Cm 5101) published in April 2001 (a copy of which is available in the Library of the House) and figures for earlier years are available in previous PESA publications.
