Note:

Totals may not balance due to roundings.

In addition further EYF for 2001–02 resulting from the difference between provisional outturn and final outturn has not yet been allocated as it will be drawn down in 2003–04 subject (as is always the case in respect of end year flexibility) to agreement by the treasury of the necessary call on the reserve.
