§ Lord Bassam of BrightonSubject to parliamentary approval of any necessary supplementary estimate, the Cabinet Office departmental expenditure limit (DEL) will be decreased by £11,159,000 from £250,017,000 to £238,858,000 and the gross administration costs limits will be decreased by £2,102,000 from £219,130,000 to £217,028,000. Within the DEL change, the impact on resources and capital are as set out in the following table.
£000s New DEL Change Voted Non-voted Total Resource -11,159 258,005 0 258,005 Capital 0 31,000 0 31,000 Depreciation* 0 -50,147 0 -50,147 Total -11,159 238,858 238,858 *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 reductions due to machinery of government transfer of shareholder executive to the Department of Trade and Industry of £2,585,000, 37WS transfer of £10,057,000 to the Ministry of Defence for funding of the National Met Programme, end year flexibility drawn of £1,000,000 to fund the "Go In, Stay In, Tune In" public information campaign and net transfers from other government departments, of £483,000.
There is no change to the capital element of the DEL.
