The figures are calculated from data reported on the Budget Requirement (BR1 and BR2) forms submitted annually by all billing and precepting authorities in England.
No figure is given for Bedfordshire for 2009-10 as, following the reorganisation of councils in that county from 1 April 2009, Bedfordshire county council ceased to exist.
3 Nov 2009 : Column 839W
The underlying data used in calculating the annual change are calculated by dividing the sum of the council tax requirement for all billing and precepting authorities in the county area by the average Band D council taxbase for the county. No unitary authorities were included in the calculations and the data also exclude the element of the police and fire authority council tax requirement for the unitary authority areas.
