Supplementary Estimates
The Secretary of State for Education and Skills (Ruth Kelly): Subject to parliamentary approval of any necessary supplementary estimate, the Department for Education and Skills departmental expenditure limit (DEL), (including the Office for Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Schools (Ofsted) which has a separate estimate) will be increased by £458,501,000 from £28,162,769,000 to £28,621,270,000 and the administration costs limits will be increased by £16,424,000 from £272,362,000 to £288,786,000 to fund the departmental restructuring programme.
Within the DEL change, the impact on resources and capital is as set out in the following table:
* Depreciation, which forms part of resource DEL, is excluded from the total DEL, in the table above, since capital DEL includes capital spending and to include depreciation of those assets would lead to double counting.
