Estate Action scheme funding is excluded. 2Allocations have been converted to 2002–03 prices using the GDP Deflator. 3 The reduction in 2003–04 mainly reflects a change in the local government capital finance system, which means the allocations no longer include an element assumed to be financed from authorities capital receipts.
