The National Assembly for Wales' Departmental Expenditure Limit will be increased by £188,419,000 from £ 12,832,297,000 to £13,020,716,000. The increase is a result of:

A take up of £19,500,000 EYF - Capital

Net transfers from other Government Departments to the National Assembly for Wales of £ 98,919,000
