1 Consumers' expenditure measures expenditure by households and private
non-profit making bodies resident in a region.
2 The introduction of the community charge in April 1989 in Scotland
(and in April 1990 in England and Wales) introduced a discontinuity in the estimates
of consumers' expenditure as community charge, and subsequently council
tax payments are not included in consumers' expenditure.
