§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Culture, Media and Sport (Lord McIntosh of Haringey)My right honourable friend the Paymaster General (Dawn Primarolo) has made the following Written Ministerial Statement.
Subject to parliamentary approval of any necessary Supplementary Estimate, the Inland Revenue departmental expenditure limit will be increased by £133,643,000 from £ 3,358,210,000 to £3,491,853,000 and the administration costs limit will be increased by £94,530,000 from £3,075,757,000 to £3,170,287,000. Within the DEL change, the impact on resources and capital are as set out in the following table:
£'0000s Change Voted New DEL Non-voted Total Resource 94,530 2,846,006 331,418 3,177,424 Capital 39,113 314,429 - 314,429 Depreciation* -27,813 -180,408 - -180,408 Total 105,830 2,980,027 331,418 3,311,445 *Depreciation, which forms part of resource DEL, is excluded from the total DEL since capital DEL includes capital spending and to include depreciation of those assets would lead to double counting.
The change in the resource element of the DEL arises from increases in gross administration costs, mainly, £61,544,000 met from the central reserve to enable the GOGGS East building to be brought on to the department's balance sheet. A further increase of £ 29,000,000 and £3,400,000, which is also being met from 71WS the central reserve for continued work on Child Trust Fund and for Team Bonus payments, respectively. HM Treasury is to transfer £99,000, for the cost of capital in respect of the GOGGS East building. Cabinet Office will be transferring £1,790,000, due to the change in funding arrangements for the Parliamentary Counsel Office; and, Department for Work and Pensions is transferring £1,661,000, for child benefit work on the Payment Modernisation Programme and the Child Benefit Cheque Payment Service. These transfers are partially offset by a transfer of £2,964,000 to HM Treasury to meet the costs of the transfer of tax policy work for the first half of the financial year.
The change in the capital element of the DEL arises from an increase of £97,477,000 from the central reserve to enable the GOGGS East building to be brought onto the department's balance sheet. This increase is partially offset by an accounting adjustment of £ 58,364,000, in relation to the assets transferred to CapGemini, the department's new IT service provider.
