§ Mr. JenkinTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence by how much the Defence Logistics Organisation overspent its original budget estimate in the last financial year; and how this deficit was funded. [64816]
§ Mr. IngramThe estimates provision at the start of the 2001–02 financial year for the Defence Logistics Organisation (DLO) was made up of £3,412 million for current and £612 million for capital expenditure. As I explained in my replies of 26 October 2001,Official Report, columns 405–06W and 31 October 2001, Official Report, columns 659–60W, in the normal course of business there are adjustments to these limits as the year unfolds which were reflected in the spring supplementary estimates. The revised estimates for the DLO were £4,442 million for current and £1,105 million for capital expenditure. The DLO resource accounts are still being finalised but currently show the DLO has contained its expenditure within these revised limits.
