1. The figures for 1992 and 1993 are on different bases, due to a change in the source of the statistics: see the Notes to chapter 1.
2. The figures for 1995 (and earlier years) are not directly comparable with those for 1996 (and later years): see the Notes to chapter 6
3. These figures are for financial years (April to March) which start in the relevant financial year (eg "1995" figures are for 1995-96 financial year)
4. Figures for 1993 (financial year 1993-94) onwards have been estimated by the Scottish Executive
5. The increase between the figures for 1989 and 1990 is believed to be largely due to changes in coverage
6. The 1996-based projection of the population for 1998 was used as the population figure for Great Britain for 1998, because the estimated population of GB for mid-1998 was not available at the time of going to press.
