The data are taken from Revenue Summary (RS) returns for 1996–97 to 2004–05.
Central government funding is defined here as the sum of Specific grants inside Aggregate External Finance (AEF) and Formula grant (Revenue Support Grant, Redistributed business rates and Police Grant).
Specific grants inside Aggregate External Finance are those revenue grants paid for councils' core services (such as waste collection), excluding funding for local authorities' housing management.
Comparisons across years may not be valid due to changing local authority responsibilities.
The information excludes those grant programmes, such as European funding, where authorities are simply one of the recipients of funding paid towards an area.
The information requested on capital grants is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
