Subject to Parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimate, the Postal Services Commission DEL will be increased by £1,000 from £152,000 to £153,000 and the administration budget will be increased by £1,000 from £2,000 to £3,000. The impact on resource DEL is set out in the following table. There is no impact on capital DEL.

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.
The change in resource DEL is as a result of additional administration expenditure relating to research into the social value of the Post Office (£100,000) offset by increased appropriations-in-aid income from the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR).
There is a token £1,000 increase in the resource DEL and the administration budget.
My nobel Friend Lord Davies of Abersoch, the Minister of State for Trade and Investment has made the following statement:
Subject to parliamentary approval of any necessary supplementary estimate, UKTI’s total DEL will be decreased by £199,000 from £91,506,000 to £91,307,000. This reflects the net transfer of £200,000 in Voted capital from UKTI’s Vote to BERR’s Vote. Within the total DEL change, the impact on resources and capital is set out in the following table:
Voted Non-voted Voted Non-voted Total Resources DEL 1 - 91,506 - 91,506 Of which: Near-cash in RDEL 1 - 91,419 - 91,419 Capital DEL1 -200 - 48 - 48 Less Depreciation2 - - -166 - -166 Total DEL -199 - 91,388 ™ 91,388 1Capital DEL includes items treated as resource in Estimates and accounts but which are treated as Capital DEL in budgets. 2Depreciation, 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.
UKTI’s vote does not include Administration provision, which is included in the Estimates of our parent departments, BERR and FCO.
The change in the resource element of DEL arises from:
A token increase of £1,000 to allow an increase in appropriations-in-aid to be included in the estimate.
The change in the capital element of DEL arises from:
A transfer of capital underspend of £200,000 to BERR to fund capital works to UKTI accommodation.
