Scotland

The DEL increase takes account of the following routine adjustments to the Scottish Executive provision:
the take-up of End Year Flexibility (EYF) by the Scottish Executive amounting to £150,000,000 (£100,000,000 resource, £25,000,000 non cash and £25,000,000 capital);
an increase in depreciation of £80,740,000; and
an increase of £57,000,000 for Council Tax Benefit Adjustment.

a transfer of £19,880,000 from the Department for Transport;
a transfer of £1,244,000 from the Department of Trade and Industry; and

Trade and Industry
Winter Supplementary Estimates 2006-07
The Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (Mr. Alistair Darling): Subject to Parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimate, the Department of Trade and Industry's DEL will be increased by £276,102,000 from £6,600,353,000 to £6,876,455,000 and the administration costs limit will be increased by £5,177,000 from £330,907,000 to £336,084,000.
Within the DEL change, the impact on resources and capital is as set out in the following table:
| Change | New DEL | £’000 | |||
| Voted | Non-voted | Voted | Non-voted | Total | |
| *The total of the 'Administration Budget' and 'Near-cash in Resource DEL' figures may well be greater than total resource DEL, due to the definitions overlapping. | |||||
| **Capital DEL includes items treated as resource in Estimates and accounts but which are treated as Capital DEL in budgets. | |||||
| ***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. | |||||
