HC Deb 27 November 2003 vol 415 c20WS
The Minister for the Cabinet Office and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Mr. Douglas Alexander)

Subject to Parliamentary approval of any necessary supplementary estimate, the Cabinet Office DEL will be increased by £11,446,000 from £299,843,000 to £311,289,000 and the gross administration costs limits will be increased by £10,243,000 from £213,490,000 to £223,733,000. Within the DEL change, the impact on resources and capital are as set out in the following table:

£000
New DEL
Change Voted Non-voted Total
Resource 11,133 276,115 0 276,115
Capital 313 85,328 0 85,328
Depreciation* 0 -50,154 0 -50,154
Total 11,446 311,289 0 311,289

* 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 additions from the DEL reserve of £8,600,000 to support core departmental activities, additions of £2,206,000 from the Policy Innovation Fund for the newly formed shareholder executive and net transfers from other government departments of £327,000.

The change in the capital element of the DEL arises from additions of £23,000 from the Policy Innovation Fund for the newly formed Shareholder Executive and net transfers from other departments of £290,000.
