PART III EXPLANATIONS
Department A
Excess expenditure over the gross Estimate provision for
RfR2 as increased by the Supplementary Estimate presented in February
2002 (HC XXX of 2001-02) amounted to £2,000,000.00. The excess
expenditure arose in part because of deficiencies in the department's
accounting and forecasting systems. There was, however, surplus
income of classes authorised to be used as appropriations in aid
amounting to £1,000,000.00. Parliamentary authority is sought
to apply this surplus income towards meeting the excess, leaving
additional resources of £1,000,000.00 and additional cash
of £1,000,000.00 to be provided by an Excess Vote.
Department B
There was expenditure on administration costs of £500,000.50
in excess of the Estimate provision for RfR1 for gross administration
costs as increased by the Supplementary Estimate presented in
November 2001 (HC YYY of 2001-02). Increased expenditure on salary
costs brought about the overspend at the end of the financial
year. There were savings on other current expenditure subheads
of £200,000.00. The Treasury refused to authorise the application
of these savings to meet the administration costs excess, in accordance
with arrangements for the operation of the Parlimentary Supply
procedure in respect of departmental administration limits that
had been notified to departments and the Public Accounts Committee
in 200X. In addition, there was surplus income of classes authorised
to be used as appropriations in aid amounting to £299,000.50.
Parliamentary Authority is sought to apply the savings of £200,000.00
and the surplus income of £299,000.50 towards meeting the
excess on administration costs, leaving a token amount of resources
of £1,000 and a token amount of cash of £1,000 to be
provided by an Excess Vote.
Department C
Excess expenditure over the net Estimate amounted to £750,000.20
of resources and £750,000.20 of cash. The excess occurred
because of a clerical error at the end of the financial year.
There was a deficiency of income of classes authorised to be used
as appropriations in aid of £1,000,000.20. This was partly
offset by net savings on expenditure on other subheads of £250,000.00.
The authority of Parliament is sought to provide for the excess
expenditure by an Excess Vote.
Department D
Excess expenditure over the net Estimate amounted to £300,000.00
of cash. The excess occurred because of a decision taken at the
end of the financial year to retain an asset previously earmarked
for disposal. There was a deficiency of non-operating income of
classes authorised to be used as approrpriations in aid of £400,000.00.
This was partly offset by net savings on expenditure on capital
subheads of £100,000.00. The authority of Parliament is sought
to provide for the excess expenditure by an Excess Vote.
Department E
Excess expenditure over the net Estimate amounted to £50,000.40
of cash. The excess occurred as a result of failure to collect
certain debts at the end of the financial year. The authority
of Parliament is sought to provide for the excess expenditure
by an Excess Vote.
Department F
Excess expenditure over the gross Estimate provision for
RfR1 as increased by the Supplementary Estimate presented in February
2002 (HC XXX of 2001-02) amounted to £2,000,000.00. The excess
expenditure arose in part because of deficiencies in the department's
accounting and forecasting systems. There was, however, surplus
income of classes authorised to be used as appropriations in aid
amounting to £1,000,000.00. In addition, there was further
excess expenditure amounting to £150,000.40 of cash due to
an unforeseen build-up of stocks at the end of the financial year.
Parliamentary authority is sought to apply the surplus income
towards meeting the excess expenditure of resources, leaving net
addiitional resources of £1,000,000.00 and additional cash
of £1,150,000.40 to be provded by an Excess Vote.
