In line with the revenue grant increase in 2006-07, the capital grant announced in early 2006 was calculated as a flat-rate reduction for all (the 2005-06 total was £210 million). The £25 million uplifts have been applied similarly. 2. Allocations include supported capital expenditure (revenue). The £25 million grant increases have been applied to police grant (as they would if full allocation had been possible early in 2006), not to supported capital expenditure (revenue).
