HC Deb 27 November 2002 vol 395 cc33-4WS
The Minister of State, Cabinet Office (Mr. Douglas

Resources Capital
Change New DEL Of which: Voted Non-voted Change New DEL Of which: voted Non-voted
-77,107 206,444 206,444 22,387 54,715 54,715

The change in the resource element of the DEL arises from Machinery of Government transfers of £113,301,000 to other departments; a claim on the reserve of £36,300,000 and an increase in the negative DEL of the Government Car and Despatch Agency of £106,000.

The change in the capital element of the DEL arises from additions from the Capital Modernisation Fund of £15,000,000, transfers from the Home Office of £8,000,000 and Machinery of Government transfers to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister of £613,000.

The increases will be offset by inter-departmental transfers and charged to the DEL reserve and will not therefore add to the planned total of public expenditure.

The change in the capital element of the DEL arises from: i) a draw-down of £3,000,000 from the DEL Reserve for Departmental priorities, ii) a take-up of our entitlement to £59,667,000 under End-Year flexibility and, (iii) a take-up of £15,000,000 from the November 2000 Flood Defence Package.

Our EYF capital entitlement above includes £8,461,000 budget cover (non-Estimate) for the BWB.

The increase will either be offset by transfers or charged to the DEL Reserve and will not therefore add to the planned total of public expenditure.
