UK Budget 1996

The pie - chart tells us about the UK Budget in 1996 and where the money goes. I'll describe now this pie - chart in a few lines.

The chart shows the UK Budget goes to many different useful places. We will start with the Health and Personal social services sector; it cost around £53 billion. After that the Law and Order Sector cost around £17 billion. Also a useful sector like Education cost around £38 billion. Industry agticulture and employment was around £13 billion. Now we reach almost £121 billion.Other money goes on Defence, £22 billion, debt interest, around £25 billion, Housing, Heritage and Environment around £15 billion, and other expenditure £23 billion. Finally the biggest amount is for social security and it costs around £100 billion.

The outstanding feature of the pie chart is the spending on social security which was around one third of the total budget and more than was spent on health and education.
