Public Expenditure

Volume 481: debated on Monday 27 October 2008

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer pursuant to the answer of 15 May 2008, Official Report, column 1739W, on public expenditure, what, in near cash terms, the amount of negative departmental expenditure limit income retained by departments was, broken down on the same basis as tables 1.7 and 1.10 of Public Expenditure Statistical Analysis 2008 (HC 489, 2007-08). (210951)

The following tables show the negative departmental expenditure limit included in central Government departmental budgets published in Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses 2008 (HC 489). The main components are sales of goods and services (including by NHS and Foundation Trusts), grants from the EC and transfers from other Departments, for example in respect of co-funded non-departmental public bodies. The Consolidated Budgeting Guidance details all types of income that can be treated as a benefit to departmental budgets and is available at the following link:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer with reference to the Comprehensive Spending Review 2007 (Cm 7227, 2006/07), what the expected level, in near cash terms, of (a) negative resource Departmental Expenditure Level (DEL) and (b) negative capital DEL income to be retained by Departments is, broken down on the same basis as tables 1.7 and 1.10 of Public Expenditure Statistical Analysis 2008, (HC 489, 2007-08). (210998)

The following tables show the negative DEL included in central Government departmental budgets published in Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses 2008 (HC 489). This shows the expected income as at the 2007 comprehensive spending review, updated with classification and policy changes. The main components are sales of goods and services (including by NHS and foundation trusts), grants from the EC and transfers from other Departments, for example, in respect of co-funded non-departmental public bodies. The Consolidated Budgeting Guidance details all types of income that can be treated as a benefit to departmental budgets and is available at the following link:
