Subject to Parliamentary approval, the Department for Culture Media and Sport’s Departmental Expenditure Limit (DEL) will be increased by £85,705,000 from £1,974,663,000 to £2,060,368,000 and the administration budget will increase by £6,926,000 from £48,207,000 to £55,133,000. Within the DEL change the impact on resource and capital are set out in the following table:

The change in the resource element of the DEL arises from:
Take-up of £7,179,000 End Year flexibility comprising: (£3,000,000) UK Film; (£879,000) Central DCMS Invest to Save Budget (ISB); and £3,300,000 Administration budget.
Transfers from other Government Departments of: £800,000 from Department for International Development for International Inspirations; and £226,000 from Cabinet Office to cover baseline costs of the Parliamentary Counsel.
The administration cost limit has increased by £6,926,000 from £48,207,000 to £55,133,000. This is as a result of a transfer from Cabinet Office of £226,000 detailed above; take-up of £3,300,000 Administration End Year Flexibility and an agreed transfer of £3,400,000 from programme to administration costs.
The capital element of the DEL has increased by £77,500,000 reflecting take-up of End Year Flexibility by the Olympic Delivery Authority.
