Departmental Expenditure (National School of Government)

Volume 467: debated on Thursday 15 November 2007

Subject to Parliamentary approval of any necessary Supplementary Estimate, the National School of Government departmental expenditure limit (DEL) will be increased by £802,000 from £415,000 to £1,217,000 and the administration costs limit will be £1,217,000. Voted Capital will increase by £401,000 to £1,270,000. These figures reflect a take up of End Year Flexibility from 2006-07 and a transfer of £200,000 from Resource to Capital.

Within the DEL change, the impact of resources and Capital are as set out in the following table:

*The total of the ‘Administration Budget' and the ‘Near cash in Resource DEL' figures may well be greater than the total resource DEL, due to definitions overlapping.

**Capital DEL includes items treated as resources 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.
