Table B breaks this down by local authority.

The annual recorded value of the additional grants is set out in Table C.</p><p> </p><p>Due to a change in reporting processes the additional grants given in 2014/15 and 2015/16 were not included in the published totals in the 2017/18 youth justice statistics. The totals for these years therefore differ between Table A (where the additional grants are not included) and Table B (where they are included).</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 05/06/2019 17:34:48 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar attachment 1 file name Tables 252658.docx title Table
