Details of the surplus surrendered and budget each year since 1997 are provided in the following table. Figures before 2002 relate to the Department of Public Enterprise. The Department of Transport was established in 2002. Figures for 2004 are being audited and are therefore provisional. Explanations of material variances between budgets and outturns are available in the annual reports of the Comptroller and Auditor General for the years 1997 to 2003.
