HL Deb 24 February 2004 vol 658 c22WS
Lord Bassam of Brighton

Subject to parliamentary approval of any necessary supplementary estimate, the Cabinet Office DEL will be increased by £2,043,000 from £311,289,000 to £313,332,000 and the gross administration costs limits will be increased by £2,644,000 from £223,733,000 to £226,377,000. Within the DEL change, the impact on resources and capital are as set out in the following table:

New DEL
£'000 Change Voted Non-voted Total
Resource 1,182 277,297 0 277,297
Capital 861 86,189 0 86,139
Depreciation1 0 -50,154 0 -50,154
Total 2,043 313,332 0 313,332

1Depreciation, 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 £3,500,000 for human resources restructuring, draw down of £140,000 end-year flexibility on Invest to Save funding provided to the Centre for Management and Policy Studies and net transfers to other government departments of £2,458,000.

The change in the capital element of the DEL arises from transfers from other departments of £861,000.
