Department for Transport: DEL
Statement
The Lord President of the Council (Baroness Royall of Blaisdon): My right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (Shaun Woodward) has made the following Ministerial Statement:
Subject to parliamentary approval the Northern Ireland Office (NIO) will be taking a 2008/09 Spring Supplementary Estimate. The effect this will have is to increase the NIO's DEL by £146,802,000 from £1,215,517,000 to £1,362,319,000.
| Change | New DEL | ||||
| £'000 | Voted | Non-Voted | Voted | Non-voted | Total |
The change in total DEL of £146,802,000 relates to the draw down of End Year Flexibility of £89,334,000 (£81,534,000 resource and £7,800,000 capital); rephasing of non-cash budgets from 2009/10 into 2008/09 of £12,184,000 for PSNI and Compensation Agency; additional funding of £12,250,000 for the implementation of FRS 17 and FRS 26; and resource and capital budget transfers with other government departments resulting in a net increase of £272,000.
12 Feb 2009 : Column WS99
The take up of End Year Flexibility is required to supplement baselines in Political Directorate, Criminal Justice Directorate, Northern Ireland Prison Service, Central Administration, Public Prosecution Service, Youth Justice Agency, Policing Non-Severance, Bloody Sunday Inquiry, Policing and Security and Compensation Agency.
The administration budget decreases by £1,260,000 from £77,285,000 to £76,025,000. This is due to the transfer of £1,726,000 from Administration to Programme for Forensic Science Northern Ireland and Life Sentence Review Commissioners. Additionally there are resource budget transfers of £500,000 from the Department of Finance and Personnel, Northern Ireland for accommodation costs; £28,000 to the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister, Northern Ireland for staff costs; and £6,000 to the Department of Innovation, Universities and Skills for the Skills Strategy for Government programme.
The increase in capital DEL of £7,960,000 reflects the budget transfer of £160,000 from the Department of Finance and Personnel, Northern Ireland for energy costs in the Northern Ireland Prison Service and the take up of £7,800,000 End Year Flexibility to meet additional capital requirements in the Northern Ireland Prison Service.
The Northern Ireland Executive DEL will increase by £182,606,000 from £8,881,173,000 to £9,063,779,000.
12 Feb 2009 : Column WS100
The change reflects the take up of End Year Flexibility of £225,000,000 (£125,000,000 resource and £100,000,000 capital); additions of £1,809,000 arising from the 2008 Pre Budget Report; net outward budget transfers to other departments of £2,748,000; a reduction of £50,880,000 for Northern Ireland Water as a result of it becoming a Government Owned Company; and an increase of £9,425,000 to take account of capital reprofiling from 2010-11.
Foreign and Commonwealth Office: DEL
Statement
The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Lord Malloch-Brown): My right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (David Miliband) has made the following Written Ministerial Statement.
Subject to parliamentary approval of any necessary supplementary estimate, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Departmental Expenditure Limit (DEL) will be increased by £128,154,000 from £2,080,557,000 to £2,208,711,000. The administration budget will be decreased by £18,000 from £430,535,000 to £430,517,000. Within the DEL change, the impact on resources and capital are as set out in the following table:
| Change £000 | New DEL £000 | ||||
| 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 the DEL arises from:
£18,000 transfer of administration budget to DIUS for Government Skills. take-up of £10,800,000 other current EYF in respect of restructuring;take-up of £6,500,000 other current EYF in respect of adverse currency fluctuations;claim on the Reserve of £24,500,000 other current in respect of Consular Premiums;claim on the Reserve of £24,000,000 current grants in respect of the International Subscriptions cost-sharing agreement;transfer of £4,700,000 from the Home Office for work on migration;transfer of £1,000,000 other current from DfID in respect of the Returns and Reintegration Fund;transfer of £200,000 other current from DfID in respect of bilateral project work in Africa;transfer of £11,120,000 other current to the Security and Intelligence Agencies for expansion and capability;transfer of £1,800,000 other current to MoD for counternarcotics work in Afghanistan;transfer of £270,000 other current to the Security and Intelligence Agencies for expansion and capability;12 Feb 2009 : Column WS101
