The amount of central government funding provided to the London borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in each year since 1996–97 is tabled as follows.

£000
1996–97 135,002
1997–98 136,577
1998–99 142,640
1999–2000 152,034
2000–01 165,320
2001–02 180,845
2002–03 190,898
2003–04 213,397
2004–05 223,648

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.
