Table 1.9 Estimated Defence Expenditure Outturn in the UK: Breakdown by Industry Group
This table, which has been prepared from MOD administrative systems introduced under Resource Accounting and Budgeting (RAB), estimates the amount of money the MOD spends directly with UK industry broken down by industrial group. The RAB breakdowns do not permit the analysis that was undertaken previously. The move to RAB has, however, permitted the table to show all the sections of the economy that are represented in the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). Figures exclude 'internal' MOD expenditure such as pay and allowances. Industrial groupings are based on the SIC 1992 and 2003 guidelines maintained by the Office for National Statistics. The figures have been rounded to the nearest £10M. Differences between the totals and sums of the components are caused by this rounding.

1. The break in series between 2002/03 and 2003/04 reflects the fact that for 2002/03 the Defence Bills Agency data was still based on Internal Account Codes
    (used under the old cash system), and was migrated to Resource Accounting Codes one year later than the accounting systems, on 1 April 2003.
2. Includes MOD payments to AWE Management Ltd, who manage the Atomic Weapons Establishment on behalf of the MOD under a Government-
    owned/contractor-operated arrangement.
3. The quality of data available for the service industries is insufficient to identify these SICs separately.
