- 1. MIG expenditure relates to program money payable to the individual and does not include the cost to DWP of administering the benefit.
- 2. The Expenditure for 2002–03 reflects the latest benefit-bybenefit estimate of out turn for the year and not the amounts voted by Parliament.
77W - 3. Amounts shown are in £ millions cash terms on a Resource Accounting and Budgeting basis and are consistent with the Budget 2003 forecasts and departmental expenditure tables.
- 4. Totals may not sum due to rounding.
- 5. Figures are based on a 5 per cent. sample and are therefore subject to a degree of sampling variation.
- 6. Because of relatively small sample sizes at local authority level the figures are subject to a greater margin of error than would be associated with national level expenditure estimates; all results are rounded to the nearest £1 million, but may not be accurate to this level.
