Notes
- Identifiable spending only: spending that can be placed in an area because it benefits the people there. Spending on the UK as a whole, such as defence and debt interest, is left out. Cash terms, so not adjusted for inflation.
- HM Treasury publishes five years in each edition and revises the four before the latest, and says its figures per head are rounded up to the nearest £.
