Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary supplementary estimate, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills’ DEL will be increased by £19,906,781,000 from £1,922,920,000 to £21,829,701,000 as a consequence of the merger between the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform and the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills. The administration budget will be increased by £84,524,000 from £272,949,000 to £357,473,000.
Within the DEL change, the impact on resources and capital is as set out in the following table:
Voted Non-Voted Voted Non-Voted Total Resource (£000) -4,037,427 21,292,300 -3,515,015 22,354,754 18,839,739 of which: Administration* budget 84,524 357,473 357,473 Near cash in Resource DEL* -5,337,748 21,062,238 -4,937,070 22,105,386 17,168,316 Capital (£000) -95,993 2,747,901 -486,854 3,476,816 2,989,962 Less Depreciation* (£000) -5,112 -180,116 -59,448 -201,279 -260,727 Total (£000) -4,138,532 23,860,085 -4,061,317 25,630,291 21,568,974 *The total of the ‘Administration Budget' and ‘Near Cash in Resource DEL' figures may well be greater than total Resource DEL, due to the definitions overlapping. *Capital DEL includes items treated as Resource in Estimates and Accounts, but 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.
