Mr. Byrne:
Near cash/non-cash splits relate to Departmental Expenditure Limit resource budget controls and are not compatible with Supply Estimates which relate to voted resource expenditure.
The following table assigns the near and non-cash elements of the 2002-07 resource DEL outturns to the related sections used in the Spring Supplementary Estimate 2007-08. The outturns shown take account of all later Machinery of Government and classification changes and are on a basis comparable to that used in the Spring Supplementary Estimate 2007-08. Outturn for 2001-02 has not been included as comparative historical data are only readily available for five past years.
