Subject to Parliamentary approval of any necessary Supplementary Estimate, the Forestry Commission's DEL will be increased by £10,104,000 from £82,288,000 to £92,392,000. Within the DEL change, the impact on resources and capital are as set out in the following table:
Change New DEL Voted Non-voted Voted Non-voted Total Resource DEL 9,804 — 90,369 2,653 93,022 Of which: Administration budget1 — — — — — Near-cash in 7,304 — 66,273 2,653 68,866 RDEL Capital2 1,800 — 2,640 -700 1,940 Less Depreciation3 -1,500 — -2,570 — -2,570 Total 10,104 — 90,439 1,953 92,392 1 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. 2 Capital DEL includes items treated as resource in Estimates and accounts but which are treated as Capital DEL in budgets. 3 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 the resource element of the DEL arises from:
a. A transfer of £7,994,000 from Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, to allow the Forestry Commission to administer the Farm Woodland Premium scheme.
b. The take up of £3,610,000 end of year flexibility to meet expenditure on payment of private woodland grants, costs associated with efficiency initiatives and increased forecasts on both cost of capital and depreciation charges.
c. A transfer from resource to capital DEL of £1,800,000.
The change in the capital element of the DEL arises from:
a. A transfer from resource DEL of £1,800,000 to support capital investment of e-business systems.
