Please note that the reporting methodology was reviewed during autumn 2011. Changes in the methodology regarding imputation of missing values, wrongly recorded zeros and party size adjustments have impacted on the total spend value. For this reason spend figures published in the January-September bulletin are not directly comparable to previous bulletins.
