The 2022/23 values are planned for publication in 2024 following the closure of the years data, and when a full reconciliation is completed.

Devolution of the AEB came into effect from 1 August 2019. These publications exclude values where delivery is in a devolved Mayoral Combined Authority or the Greater London Authority area.
