The information requested by the Deputy is set out in tabular form below. For each of the years 2004 to 2010, the total Estimate of both Gross and Net voted expenditure (Current and Capital) as outlined in the Revised Estimates Volume (REV) is compared with the final outturn total as audited by the Comptroller and Auditor General and published in the Appropriation Accounts for the relevant year. For 2009 the provisional outturn figure as published in the REV for 2010 is used as the Appropriation Accounts for 2009 will not be available until later in the year. No outturn is shown for 2010.
