[1] The running costs of the Brussels and French offices are split equally
between Jersey and Guernsey. Any differences in the annual grants awarded will
have been balanced by the use of reserve funds. This ensures each department
can flex funding to respond to wider departmental pressures, and that the
overseas offices also have sufficient contingency to respond to unforeseen
circumstances.
