Near-cash and non-cash are essentially used as departmental expenditure limit (DEL) budgetary control concepts and are not specifically identified with voted resources in estimates. However, we have been able to break down net total resources for each section in the ‘Part II: Subhead’ detail table of our main and winter supplementary estimates as follows.

In addition, the Department provided £2,000 (000s) in capital grants for local authorities in the winter supplementary estimate. Capital grants are treated as resource in the estimate and capital in terms of departmental expenditure limit (DEL).
In line with the creation of the Ministry of Justice and owing to the machinery of Government changes, a transfer of a number of business areas with funding from the Home Office took effect in the winter supplementary estimate.
