The calculation of departmental EYF entitlement is undertaken at a high level of aggregation across departmental expenditure limits. Underspends on specific programmes may be partially offset by overspends elsewhere. Each Department draws down its EYF entitlement for specific purposes in accordance with need. It is therefore not possible to identify the areas to which EYF generated by a particular programme has been re-allocated. For that reason, DTLR does not keep central records of EYF entitlement generated by, and re-allocated to, railways.

Copies of command papers and the Official Report, are available in the Libraries of the House.
