The table shows overall public spending—central government and local authorities—in the United Kingdom for the specified fiscal year. Government expenditure totals are aggregated for each major government function.
All outlays for British public spending prior to 2009 are outturn. More recent spending, including future years out to 2011, are estimated outturn, planned, or guesstimated.
Public sector expenditure between 1992 through 2011 is based on Public Expenditure Statistical Analysis (PESA) function or subfunction data published by HM Treasury.
You can use controls on the table to change the year or to drill down to view more detailed spending information. You can also view the spending data as percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Outturn vs. Plan: Public spending data in ukpublicspending.co.uk includes public spending outturns and also future spending in three categories: estimated outturn, planned, and guesstimated. Records of recent spending are more detailed than historical records of earlier times.
Public Spending Updates: The current numbers are based on HM Treasury’s PESA of 2010. The next update will be made after the PESA 2011 is published in April or May 2011.
