revenue expenditure. The correct figure is £2.413 million. The attached table includes the corrected figure and much smaller corrections for Newham, New Cross, Brighton and Derby NDCs. Figures for other NDCs remain the same. The New Deal for Communities Programme has 39 NDC Partnerships and £2 billion has been committed to them over the 10 years of the NDC Programme. The 17 Round 1 Partnerships entered their delivery phase in 2000–01 and the 22 Round 2 Partnerships entered their delivery phase in 2000–02.

The NDC Partnerships went through two phases before they entered their delivery phase. Phase 1 involved building up a partnership, phase 2 involved developing a delivery plan for the 10 years of the programme and, where possible, developing "quick win" projects. During Phase 1 and Phase 2 we would expect Management and Administration to be high as the partnerships were in the initial stages of setting up and building a partnerships.

Overall, partnerships may only spend up to 10 per cent. of their 10-year budget total on Management and Administration during the year life of their programme. Profiles vary, and some partnerships have spent more that 10 per cent. per annum on Management and Administration so far. However, we do not expect management and administration to exceed 10 per cent. of total spend by the time each partnership reaches its final year.
