For years 1999 – 2005, pension costs were not included in the Net Subsidy. From 2005 onwards, 
apportioned pension costs were included in the Net Subsidy. 
 
General election years: 2001, 2005. This has a major impact on turnover during these years as trading 
was reduced in all areas during the dissolution period of Parliament. 
 
Years 2005-6 and 2006-7: Major reduction in services due to the final stage of the kitchen and 
basement refurbishment works.
