Subject to Parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimates, the Lord Chancellor's Departments (including Northern Ireland Court Service and Public Records Office) DEL will be increased by £67,866,000 from £2,833,287,000 to £2,901,153,000 and the administration costs limit will be increased by £20,315,000 from £695,799,000 to £716,114,000. Within the DEL change, the impact on resources and capital are as set out in the following table.

Resources Capital
Change New DEL Of which: Voted Non-voted Change New DEL Of which: voted Non-voted
TOTAL 46,971 2,777,230 2,543,516 233,714 20,895 123,923 90,431 33,492

The change in the resource element of the DEL is the net effect of: take up of £1,000,000 administration costs from the Policy Innovation Fund; take up of £243,000 resources from the Invest to Save Budget; take up of £34,931,000 in relation to the Criminal Justice System (CIS) Reserve from the Home Office, of which £14,224,000 is administration costs; take up of transfers totalling £210,000 resources from the Home Office, of which £45,000 is administration costs; a transfer of £20,000 resources to the Home Office; a transfer of £4,322,000 resources from the Office of Government Commerce; a transfer of £26,000 resources from the Office for National Statistics; take up of Invest to Save Budget end year flexibility of £268,000 resources, of which £226,000 is administration costs; to take up end year flexibility of £3,820,000 administration costs relating to the Criminal Justice System (CIS) Reserve; and a transfer of £ 1,171,000 resources from capital grant utilising the 2 ½per cent, capital to resource allowance.

The change in the Public Records Office resource element of DEL arises from: the take up of £1,000,000 administration costs from end year flexibility.

The change in the capital element of the DEL is the net effect of: take up of £1,100,000 resources from the Capital Modernisation Fund for HM Land Registry; take up of £36,000 resources from the Invest to Save Budget; take up of £8,650,000 Round 1 Capital Modernisation Fund from the Home Office; take up of £8,000,000 in relation to the Criminal Justice System (CJS) Reserve from the Home Office; take up Capital Modernisation Fund end year flexibility of £4,215,000; take up of Invest to Save Budget end year flexibility of £65,000 resources; and a transfer of £1,171,000 to resource grant utilising the 2 ½ per cent, capital to resource allowance.

The increases will be offset by inter-departmental transfers, increases to Appropriations in Aid and take up of End Year Flexibility entitlements and will therefore not add to the planned total of public expenditure.
