UK Budget

The pie chart illustrates how much money the UK government spent on various categories in 1996 which was £ 315 billion.

The highest amount of money was spent on social security, for example people who don’t have jobs, around £100 billion, whereas the lowest was spent on transport £9 billion. On health and personal social services such as hospital and clinics, the government paid out about £53 billion which was a sixth of their funds. Education, debt interest and other expenditure was £38, £25, and £23 billion respectively.
For the housing, heritage and environment they spent roughly £15 billion.

This pie chart demonstrates that around half of expenditure was on personal services,health and social security. Also, about £ 162 billion was paid out on people like the police and army as well as schools, colleges, factories, houses, the environment, farms, parks,buses and trains.
