(1)The total of ‘Administration Budget' and ‘Near-cash in Resource DEL' figures may well be greater than total resource DEL, due to the definitions overlapping. (2)Capital DEL includes items treated as resource in Estimates and accounts but which are treated as Capital DEL in budgets. (3)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 a token increase in administration costs to cover an increase of £356,000 in expenditure offset by an increase of £355,000 in A. Additionally there is a reclassification of £210,000 from programme to administration costs.

There is no change in the capital element of the DEL.
