Wales
Departmental Expenditure Limit (2009-10)

£1,600,000 Near-cash AME
£7,830,000 Non-cash AME

Women and Equality
Departmental Expenditure Limit (2009-10)
The Minister of State, Government Equalities Office (Maria Eagle): Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary supplementary estimate, the Government Equalities Office departmental expenditure limit will reduce by £5,019,000 from £85,201,000 to £80,182,000 and the administration budget will increase by £1,600,000 from £8,005,000 to £9,605,000.
Within the departmental expenditure limit change, the impact on resource and capital is as set out in the following table:
| Change £k | New Departmental Expenditure Limit £k | |||||
| Voted | Non-voted | Total | Voted | Non-voted | Total | |
| (*)Depreciation, which forms part of resource Departmental Expenditure Limit, is excluded from the total Departmental Expenditure Limit since the capital Departmental Expenditure Limit includes capital spending and to include depreciation of those assets would lead to double counting. | ||||||
Resource Departmental Expenditure Limit
The change in the Resource Departmental Expenditure Limit arises from a token increase to the administration forecast, where a Department's expenditure within the Estimate is wholly offset by income, so that a token amount of £1,000 is voted.
Capital Departmental Expenditure Limit
The decrease in the capital DEL reflects the Government Equalities Office surrender of capital funds. These were of little value to either the Government Equalities Office or the Commission for Equality and Human Rights and could be better used elsewhere.
This switch reflects the fact that GEO was established as a separate Department at a very late stage in CSR 07, and its budget did not reflect the costs of its stand-alone status. Successive changes have been made since then to ensure GEO has the right breakdown of money. This completes that process.
Work and Pensions
Departmental Expenditure Limit (2009-10)
The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (Yvette Cooper): Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimate, the Department for Work and Pensions Resource Departmental Expenditure Limit will decrease by £166,843,000 to £8,805,256,000 and the Capital Departmental Expenditure Limit will increase by £207,762,000 to £284,517,000. The Administration budget will decrease by £160,512,000 to £6,204,337,000.
