Notes

  1. From 2003-04 the Department reviewed its accounting policy in respect of the capitalisation of expenditure on improvements to leasehold properties. As a result expenditure in respect of major capital refurbishment and improvements of properties occupied but not owned by the Department is capitalised and reported under Leasehold Improvements.
  2. 2004-05 includes two exceptional items – a balance owing to the Contingencies Fund and an amount owed to paying agents.
