Business, Innovation and Skills
Departmental Expenditure Limits
The Minister for Business, Innovation and Skills (Mr. Pat McFadden): Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimate, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills' DEL will be increased by £1,240,523,000 from £21,829,701,000 to £23,070,224,000 and the Administration budget will be increased by £1,220,000 from £357,473,000 to £358,693,000.
Within the DEL change, the impact on Resources and Capital is as set out in the following table:
| Change | New DEL | ||||
| Voted | Non-Voted | Voted | Non-Voted | Total | |
| The total of the 'Administration Budget' and 'Near Cash in Resource DEL' figures may well be greater than total Resource DEL, due to the definitions overlapping. (**)Capital DEL includes items treated as Resource in Estimates and Accounts, but which are treated as Capital DEL in Budgets. (***)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. | |||||
