The change in the capital element of DEL, an increase of £52.474 million, comprises a £0.150 million transfer from resource DEL and a £52.324 million drawdown on End Year Flexibility.
Changes in Resource DEL (RDEL)
The changes which result in a net increase in resource DEL (RDEL) of £9,284,000 are as follows:
A claim on the Reserve for V Matched Funding increases resource DEL and net cash requirement by £10,500,000.
A claim on the Reserve for Invest to Save Budget in the Office of the Third Sector increases resource DEL and net cash requirement by £844,000.
A drawdown for Invest to Save budget increases resource DEL and net cash requirement by £83,000.
A drawdown for Real Help for Communities Action Plan run by the Office of the Third Sector increases resource DEL and net cash requirement by £10,000,000.
Budget cover transfers outwards
Budgetary cover transfers to various Government Departments to cover the costs of the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel (OPC) decrease resource DEL and net cash requirement by £8,003,000.
A budgetary cover transfer to the Security and Intelligence Agencies (SIA) to cover the non-cash charges upon transfer of SCOPE assets decreases non-cash resource DEL by £3,181,000.
Transfer from Voted to non-voted within Resource DEL
A switch within resource DEL from voted to non-voted administration to properly record the implementation of IFRS for a service concession arrangement of £7,600,000. The impact on net resource requirement and resource DEL is neutral. A switch is required owing to the different treatment of the service concession in estimates and budgets. For estimates purposes, this arrangement will be treated as a finance lease and for budget purposes it will be treated as an operating lease.
The Cabinet Office entered into a contract with Fujitsu Services Limited (FSL) for the provision of information and communications technology (ICT) services over a five-year term until June 2012 and this includes certain infrastructure assets for use in delivering public services that fall within the scope of IFRIC12 service concession arrangements.
Transfers from non-Voted Resource to Capital DEL
A switch from resource DEL to capital DEL to cover additional expenditure for the non-voted grant in aid to ENDPBs decreases resource DEL by £150,000. The impact on net cash requirement is neutral because the overall grant in aid to ENDPBs in the estimate remains unchanged.
A decrease in wages and salaries to cover the use of early departure provisions by £819,000.
A switch from to AME to DEL of £10,000 resulting from HM Treasury retracting their original advice on classification of accrued benefits holiday pay as a result of the IFRS implementation.
The changes which result in a net increase in capital DEL of £52,474,000 are as follows:-
A drawdown to cover capital grants programmes run by the Office of the Third Sector (OTS) increases capital DEL and net cash requirement by £52,324,000.
Transfers from Voted Resource to Capital DEL
A switch from resource DEL to capital DEL to cover additional expenditure for the non-voted grant in aid to ENDPBs increases capital DEL by £150,000. The impact on net cash requirement is neutral because the overall grant in aid to ENDPB non budget in the estimate remains unchanged.
UK Statistics Authority (DEL)
The Minister of State, Cabinet Office (Angela E. Smith): Subject to parliamentary approval of any necessary Supplementary Estimate, the UK Statistics Authority's total departmental expenditure limit (DEL) will be increased by £630,000 from £212,246,000 to £212,876,000, and the programme budget will be increased by £630,000.
Within the DEL change, the impact on resources and capital is as set out in the following table:
| £'000 | |||||
| Change | New DEL | ||||
| Voted | Non-voted | Voted | Non-voted | Total | |
| (*)The total of '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. | |||||
The change in the resource element of DEL arises from:
Take up of End-Year Flexibility (EYF) of £630,000 as set out in the Public Outturn White Paper (CM 7606).
The take up of Departmental Unallocated Provision (DUP) of £6,000,000 in order to finance in-year pressures and to meet new priorities.
The change in the programme budget arises from draw down of end of year flexibility (EYF) of £630,000 and the draw down of £6,000,000 of DUP.
Charity Commission (DEL)
The Minister of State, Cabinet Office (Angela E. Smith): Plans to change the Charity Commission's Departmental Expenditure Limit (DEL) and administration budget for 2009-10 are as follows.
Subject to parliamentary approval of any necessary supplementary estimate, the Charity Commission DEL will be increased by £54,000 from £31,764,000 to £31,818,000 and the administration budget will be increased
by £259,000 from £31,219,000 to £31,478,000. Within the DEL change, the impact on resources is as set out in the following table:
| New DEL | £'000 | |||
| Change | Voted | Non-voted | Total | |
| * The total of 'Administration budget' and 'Near cash in Resource DEL' may be greater than total resource DEL due to the definitions overlapping. ** 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 Resource DEL reflects the utilisation of £259,000 of the Commission's Resource EYF. The funds from Resource EYF will be used to improve our website, making it more accessible in support of the Government's initiative to increase online interaction with Government Departments, and to cover depreciation in respect of capital expenditure relating to our modernisation programme.
