Table 1.9 Estimated Defence Expenditure Outturn in the UK: Breakdown by Industry Group
This table, which has been prepared from the MOD's Cash Ledger, details the amount of money the MOD spent with UK industry broken down by industrial group. Figures therefore, exclude 'internal' MOD expenditure such as pay and allowances. Industrial groupings are derived from the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) guidelines maintained by the Office for National Statistics. From 1996/97 onwards, figures are based on Standard Industrial Classification 1992 - SIC(92). Prior to this, figures are based on SIC(80). The creation of QinetiQ PLC from part of the MOD's Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA) in July 2001 provides a discontinuity in 2001/02 compared to earlier years. The figures have been rounded to the nearest £10M. Differences between the totals and sums of the components are caused by this rounding. This table has been reproduced again this year to provide continuity with the time series data presented in Table 1.9a.
