1 From 2003-04 onwards this includes employer contributions for cost of pension increases.
2 Cost of capital charge and provisions discount rate classification changes have only been applied to the Ministry of Defence figures from 2003-04 onwards.
3 One-off increase in defence non-cash expenditure in line with agreed asset management policy.
4 For Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland, the split between current and capital budgets is decided by the respective executives.
5 This is the remaining contingency provision for costs of military operations in Iraq after an allocation of a preliminary £1 billion to Ministry of Defence from the £3 billion total.
6 In 2001-02 and 2002-03, DEL is controlled on a near-cash basis (see Table C13). The numbers have been translated onto a Stage 2 basis, for comparison purposes. They have been adjusted since PBR 2002 to take account of changes to non-cash, classification changes and other items that have no impact on total public spending. From 2003-04, DEL will be controlled fully on a Stage 2 basis.

Outturns and estimate consistent with National Statistics release 20th July 2004. Plans consistent with Spending Review 2004.
