UK Budget 1996

This pie chart shows information about the spending of the UK government in 1996 which is divided into ten different segments.

First comes the social security which has the highest rate. That’s because the UK government thinks that the social security is an important issue, therefore it spent £100 billion on social security. Then comes health and personal social services which got an amount of £53 billion. That’s nearly half of what the social security got. It’s the government responsibility to take care of the citizens and their needs. Third comes the education which plays a big role in developing the country. Then comes the debt interest followed by other expenditure and defence which got a similar amount of money. After that comes the law and order which the government spent £17 billion on. Then comes housing heritage and environment. It got £15 billion. It’s important that the country looks clean. After that come the industry, agriculture and employment where the government spent £13 billion. Finally comes the transport which got the smallest portion which was £9 billion.

The UK government spent a total of £315 billion. That’s a big number to spend, but it’s for the people's sake. The amount spent on social security was almost a third of the total budget.
