Annual expenditure reports
i notice that you published an annual report foe the year ending March 2010 but there doesn't appear to be one for year ending March 2011, is it missing or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance
local transport capital settlement
Why are the payments of Local Transport Capital Settlement, Integrated Transport and Maintenance Block Capital Grants totalling just shy of £1.15bn over the year not included?
can someone also fix the links to September and October returns please?
Wrong Months
Given the spread of dates within the September and October 2011 data releases I think the two files have been mislabelled and wrongly uploaded. I would warn other users that I think the file labelled dft-monthly-spend-2011-09 is the data for OCTOBER 2011, and that the file labelled dft-monthly-spend-2011-10 is SEPTEMBER 2011.
I have come to this conclusion because by far the most common month in dft-monthly-spend-2011-09 is October and in dft-monthly-spend-2011-10 the most common month is September.
More recent information
Looking for June, July and August 2011- when are they planned to be relased?
The montly data are released
The montly data are released on the DfT website (http://www.dft.gov.uk/publications/dft-monthly-spending/) every month. However, sometimes there isa time lag before we get around to noting the release on data.gov.uk. The actual files are put out every month on time, though, irrespective of what it shows on here.
DfT only have a link to this
DfT only have a link to this site, they do not seem to post their own data as you suggest, on time or at all.
Would someone be kind enough to answer my question regarding Capital Transport Settlement Block Funding being absent from the expenditure disclosure?
One wonders about the value of this data as it is un-audited and apparently incomplete.

Hi there
When will the April 2010 - March 2011 return be available? Having an annual spreadsheet rather than individual monthly spreadsheets makes analysis a lot easier!

We have to release data on a montly basis, so one off annual spreadsheets would be mean that you would have to wait a whole year before getting any data.

Earlier years
Are there any plans to publish data on the size of payments made to suppliers in earlier time periods, back to 2005 or 2006 perhaps so that it is possible to follow trends in departmental spending?

I've now fixed that link. At some point the file names must have been changed around. It should now point at the correct file.
