Defence Logistics Organisation

HC Deb 31 October 2001 vol 373 cc661-2W

Mr. Jenkin

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he expects Defence Logistics Organisation(a) current expenditure and (b) capital expenditure to be within their respective estimates provision in the current financial year; and if he will indicate the relevant figures. [11577]

Mr. Ingram

The estimates provision at the start of the year for the Defence Logistics Organisation (DLO) was made up of £3,421 million for current and £612 million for capital expenditure. As I explained in my reply of 26 October 2001, Official Report, columns 405–06W, in the normal course of business there are adjustments to these limits as the year unfolds, which will be finalised in time for the spring supplementary estimates. We would expect DLO expenditure to be within estimates provision at the year end.
