(1 )The total of ‘Administration budget’ and ‘Near cash in Resource DEL’ may be greater than total resource of 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 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 DEL and in the administration budget arises from the take up of the remaining £400,000 from the Modernisation Fund (out of a total £3 million agreed in the CSR 07 settlement) and the utilisation of £1,050,000 of the Commission’s Resource EYF.

The change in the capital element of the DEL reflects the utilisation of £400,000 of the Commission’s capital EYF.
