Departmental Expenditure (Cabinet Office)
The Minister for the Cabinet Office (Edward Miliband):
Subject to Parliamentary approval of the Winter Supplementary Estimate 2007-08, the Cabinet Office
total Departmental Expenditure Limit (DEL) has changed from the amount Voted in the Main Estimate 2007-08.
