Mr. Martyn Jones

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the total Government expenditure on Wales was through(a) the Welsh Block and (b) other funding streams in each of the last 10 years. [177352]

Mr. Boateng

Identifiable public spending by function, region and country is published annually in "Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses". Table 8.14 of "Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses 2004" (Cm 6201) shows a functional breakdown for identifiable expenditure in Wales for 2002–03, the latest year for which data are available, apportioned between the National Assembly for Wales, local authorities and UK Government Departments. Data on identifiable spending in Wales for previous years are published in previous editions of "Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses."
