Budget versus Actual
What was budgeted, what it was revised to, and what was finally spent. Each stage is read from the Budget at a Glance that reported it, so one row here is a join across editions published up to two years apart.
- Covers
This year is closed and audited: the outturn below is the Actual the Government reported in a later Budget at a Glance.

Where these numbers come from
No single document states a Budget Estimate beside the outturn it produced — the two are published two years apart. So every cell above carries its own citation, and the variance columns are computed from the cells either side of them rather than read from anywhere.
