Subject to parliamentary approval of any necessary Supplementary Estimate, the UK Statistics Authority’s total departmental expenditure limit (DEL) will be increased by £630,000 from £212,246,000 to £212,876,000, and the programme budget will be increased by £630,000.
Within the DEL change, the impact on resources and capital is as set out in the following table:
Change New DEL Voted Non-voted Voted Non-voted Total Resource DEL 6,630 -6,000 212,876 - 212,876 of which: - Administration budget* - - - - Near-cash in RDEL -3,370 4,000 178,876 14,000 192,876 Capital** -15 - 14,985 - 14,985 Less Depreciation*** - -18,000 - -18,000 Total 6,615 -6,000 209,861 - 209,861 *The total of '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 which are 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.
The change in the resource element of DEL arises from:
Take up of End-Year Flexibility (EYF) of £630,000 as set out in the Public Outturn White Paper (CM 7606).
The take up of Departmental Unallocated Provision (DUP) of £6,000,000 in order to finance in-year pressures and to meet new priorities.
The change in the programme budget arises from draw down of end of year flexibility (EYF) of £630,000 and the draw down of £6,000,000 of DUP.
