     FYTD = Financial Year to Date

Note2: Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group is classified as public
corporations from October 13, 2008.
The classification of Royal Bank of Scotland to the public sector means that its
recapitalisation in December is now scored as a transfer of funds from one part
of the public sector to another, with resulting downward revisions of nearly
20 billion pounds to public corporations and public sector net cash
requirements,
and to public sector net debt.
