In these cases the corresponding term from the national accounts is given in the explanation. Data available from: Yearly figures from 1987 to 2013, quarterly figures from 2005 to 2013. Status of the figures: The figures in this table are definite from 1987 onwards. The figures for the most recent years and quarters are provisional.

This table is replaced by table Government Finance Statistics; key figures. See paragraph 3.
