ANNEXES
ANNEX 1A
47. Why are the figures for Sections B (Structural
and agri-environmental measures) and C (Other agriculture), Vote
1 (on page 91 in the Departmental Report) apparently inconsistent
with the figures in the Supply Estimates?
The Departmental Report table on page 91 records
the total amount scoring against the Department's Control Total
arising from payments made through Sections B and C of Vote 1.
The Supply Estimate records the amount of cash that Parliament
needs to Vote to the Secretary of State for Wales in order for
him to make the payments. The Estimate therefore takes account
of the cash receipts flowing from the European Union (including
those paid via the Intervention Board) in order for him to make
the payments. I am attaching a copy of Table 2.02 on page 9[2]
of the Departmental Report which sets out the details of European
Union receipts which impact on Sections B and C of Vote 1. The
components which make up the difference between the figure in
the Departmental Report Table and Supply Estimate are highlighted—see
Annex D.1
48. Why do the figures for Section J (European
Regional Development Fund) in the Annex not appear to take account
of the £20.999 million receipts from the ERDF, while the
Supply Estimates (and Table 3.05) do?
Again, the Departmental Report table records
the total ERDF payments scoring against the Department's Control
Total arising from Section J. The Estimates record the amount
of cash that Parliament needs to Vote to the Secretary of State
for Wales in order for him to make the payments. The Estimate
therefore take account of the cash receipts flowing from the European
Union to the Welsh Office. Table 3.05 on page 18 of the Departmental
Report (copy attached at Annex E1) sets out the flows of money
behind the figures appearing in the Estimates in relation to ERDF.
ANNEX 3
49. Why does the total for appropriation
in aid for Vote 2 in the Table on page 95 of the Departmental
Report of £25.609 million not equal the figure in the Supply
Estimates of £31.604 million?
Unfortunately, the Table on page 95 of the Departmental
Report has a printing error. A minus sign appears against the
£3 million listed for NMGW Capital Receipts. The remaining
£5,000 discrepancy is accounted for by VAT receipts which
are netted off the figures appearing for Sections A and D in the
Estimate. These receipts are included in the Appropriations in
Aid amounts in Annex 3 in order to show the full picture.
ANNEX 8
50. Do the tables in Annex 8 include all
staff (including fixed term and part-time staff)? What proportion
of the 12.5 per cent staff who work part-time are women?
The figures include all staff excluding casual
staff. FTAs are included and part time staff are counted as 1.
97.7 per cent are women who work less than full
time hours which includes job sharing.
