Women and Equality
Government Equalities Office (DEL)
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 increase by £12,000 from £80,182,000 to £80,194,000 and the administration budget will increase from £9,605,000 to £9,617,000.
Within the Departmental Expenditure Limit change, the impact on resource and capital is as set out in the following table:
| Change | New DEL | £'000s | ||||
| Voted | Non -Voted | Total | Voted | Non-Voted | Limit | |
| (*)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 (**)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 an increase in relation to the recording of International Financial Reporting Standards for accrued employee benefits. The increase arises from the change in staff numbers between 2008-9 and 2009-10 and planned increased amounts of annual leave carried over by staff into 2010-11.
There has been an increase in appropriation in aid for operating activities and this is offset by increased expenditure. This reflects the activities of the Women's National Commission which has been making its services available to other government departments and agencies in line with the review of the Women's National Commission.
This increases by £12,000 due to adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards for accrued employee benefits.

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 increase by £318,266,000 to £9,123,522,000 and the Capital Departmental Expenditure Limit will remain unchanged at £284,517,000.
