Movements in Non Voted Expenditure

i. This arises from the take up of a DEL Reserve claim of £17,000,000 to reflect the increase in the Northern Ireland Legal Services Commission Baseline to cover the projected shortfall in legal aid expenditure.

Movements in Administration Expenditure

i. The change in the administration budget arises from a £2,000,000 increase in civil court fee income. This will be offset against additional related costs to dispose of civil court business. The appropriations-in-aid are classified as administrative income and so the additional fee income will reduce the administration cost limit by £2,000,000.

The change in Total DEL of £161,881,000 relates to the drawdown of end year flexibility (EYF) of £100,335,000 (all resource), increase in PSNI provisions of £88,000,000, resource budget transfers with other Government Departments totalling £847,000 and funding of £1,000,000 from HM Treasury for the impact of international financial reporting standards (IFRS) on property, plant and equipment. This has been offset by a change in non-cash costs of £28,301,000.

The EYF drawdown is required to supplement CSR07 baselines in Central Administration, Political Directorate, Public Prosecution Service, Criminal Justice Directorate, Policing-Non Severance, Northern Ireland Prison Service, Compensation Agency and Policing and Security Directorate.

The administration budget will decrease by £2,247,000 from £73,926,000 to £71,679,000. This is due to the reclassification of £2,610,000 from administration to programme for the Northern Ireland Prison Service and resource budget transfers of £315,000 from the Department of Finance and Personnel, Northern Ireland for accommodation costs, £98,000 from the Cabinet Office for Parliamentary Counsel charges and £50,000 to the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety, Northern Ireland for healthcare costs.

The Northern Ireland Executive DEL will increase by £740,207,000 from £9,283,643,000 to £10,023,850,000. Within the total DEL change, the impact on resources and capital is set out in the following table:
