The answer on the 5th December 2018 contained an error in the table provided.
Please see below, corrected table.
The table below shows the annual change in the Ministry of Justice’s available total resource funding from HM Treasury, including depreciation, in real terms to 2019/20. Budgets for the years 2020/21 and 2021/22 will be set in the next Spending Review. The figures below represent HMT funding received for 2010/11 – 2018/19, and the settlement as agreed at Autumn Statement 2016 for 2019/20 (which is subject to change).
