Legend: a - actual outturn b - estimated outturn in HM Treasury 2010 budget e - estimate in HM Treasury 2010 budget g - "guesstimated" projection by ukpublicspending.co.uk
Spending for 2008-09 is now "outturn"; spending for 2009-10 is now "estimated outturn". Central government spending
for 2010-11 is "plans", as estimated by HM Treasury. Local authority spending for 2010-11 is "guesstimated" by UkPublicSpending.co.uk by projecting the change between 2008-09 and 2009-10 forward to 2010-11.
Note: HM Treasury has not released spending estimates at the subfunction level for years after the current fiscal year 2010-11.
Three dynamic and converging systems functioning as one: a democratic polity, an economy based on markets
and incentives, and a moral-cultural system which is plural and, in the largest sense, liberal.
