Debt on general fund services not supported within AEF is generally on programmes ( e.g. Social Inclusion Partnership) supported through specific grants.
2 The costs of servicing debt on local authority trading services ( e.g. piers, harbours, slaughter houses) are mainly met through the charges made for these services.
3 The costs of servicing Housing Revenue Account ( HRA) debt are mainly met from income from rents and from Housing Support Grant.
4 Includes a reaggregation of debt from Strathclyde Councils to the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport.
