Equality 2025

Volume 479: debated on Monday 21 July 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions pursuant to the answer of 1 July 2008, Official Report, column 818W, on Equality 2025, how much of the expenditure was (a) capital and (b) resource; and if he will place in the Library a copy of the annual accounts of Equality 2025 for each year since its establishment. (219393)

Equality 2025 does not have an administration budget, the expenditure for Equality 2025 is paid out of a programme budget.

This means the budget cannot be used to pay for resources (staffing) or capital costs, as this type of expenditure can only be met from an administration budget. Expenditure for the resources that support Equality 2025 is included in the Office for Disability Issues administration budget.

The annual accounts will form part of Equality 2025’s first report, which will be published shortly. A copy will be placed in the Library.
