By my reckoning, they spend just shy of 6% of GDP* and their funding is 11% of government spending**. That's fairly impressive. Dave. * Assumes 2007 GDP of £1.712 trillion, via Wolfram Alpha. ** Assumes 2006/7 government spending, via March '06 budget report via http://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2006/11/21/what-to-tackle-government-revenue-or-spending/ I recognise these figures will be low by up to 10% (1.03^3) due to inflation, leading to a similar change in the calculated percentages. _______________________________________________ Mailing list [email protected] Archive, settings, or unsubscribe: https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public
