| The expenditure on redevelopment (defined as capital expenditure and minor new works) for the major RAF stations in the UK since financial year 2006-07 is shown in the following table: Expenditure by station £ million | 2006-07 | 2007-08 | 2008-09 | 2009-10 RAF Kinloss | 5.3 | 3.9 | 1.9 | 1.8 RAF Leuchars | 4.7 | | 5.6 | 9.4 RAF Lossiemouth | 5.6 | 1.8 | 4.5 | 6.1 Information prior to the financial year 2005-06 is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. Some of the expenditure has been split between individual financial years on an estimated basis.
