Note that:
• Her Majesty’s Passport Service was omitted from our 09/10 figures. At the
time, HMPO had its own accounts and budgets.
• For 14/15, expenditure on Information Technology and Communications was reclassified from an internal cost, to a contracted out service.
• Expenditure on Information Technology and Communications was reclassified
from an internal cost, to a contracted out service.
• Between 09/10 and 10/11we restated the Core Tables to reflect the inclusion
of a Police Grant (relating to the rates) that was previously paid by DCLG, but
which at that time became part of Home Office’s remit. This accounts for the
£3 billion step-change in Home Office expenditure
