My right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (Andy Burnham) has made the following Written Ministerial Statement.
Subject to parliamentary approval of any supplementary estimate, the Department for Culture Media and Sport’s departmental expenditure limit (DEL) will be increased by £20,004,000 from £2,008,031,000 to £2,028,035,000 and the administration cost limit will decrease by £4,000 from £55,574,000 to £55,570,000. Within the DEL change the impact on resource and capital are set out in the following table:
Change New DEL £'000 Voted Non-voted Voted Non-voted Total Resource DEL 9,593 -9,589 101,284 1,506,128 1,607,412 of which: Administration budget* -4 - 55,570 - 55,570 Near-cash in RDEL 2,618 -2,614 85,791 1,333,012 1,418,803 Capital** 215 19,785 29,212 493,141 522,353 Less Depreciation† -6,975 6,975 -12,917 -88,813 -101,730 Total 2,833 17,171 117,579 1,910,456 2,028,035
* 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 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 the DEL arises from:
Take-up of £4,000 end-year flexibility: for the participation survey.
The administration cost limit has decreased by £4,000 from £55,574,000 to £55,570,000. This is as a result of an internal transfer from administration costs to programme costs to correct a misallocation.
The change in the capital element of the DEL arises from:
Take up of end-year flexibility of £20,000,000 to allow accelerated spending by the Olympic Delivery Authority within its agreed budget.
