The Solicitor-General (Mr Edward Garnier)
Subject to parliamentary approval of any necessary supplementary estimate, the Attorney-General’s total DEL will be increased by £1,000 from £697,852,000 to £697,853,000.
Within the total DEL change, the impact on resources and capital are set out in the following table:
Voted | Non-voted | Voted | Non-voted | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Resource DEL | 805 | -673 | 659,882 | 35,509 | 695,391 |
of which: | |||||
Administration budget | 1 | - | 60,949 | - | 60,949 |
Capital DEL* | 45 | - | 11,885 | - | 11,885 |
Less Depreciation** | -176 | - | -9,423 | - | -9,423 |
Total DEL | 674 | -673 | 662,344 | 35,509 | 697,853 |
*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 Crown Prosecution Service’s (CPS) element of the Attorney-General’s total DEL will be unchanged at £641,427,000.
The movements within Resource DEL arise from:
The take-up of Departmental Unallocated Provision of £4,000,000 from non-voted to voted DEL to increase the spending on the prosecution of criminal cases.
An increase in the use of provisions for pension liabilities by £3,327,000 from voted to non-voted RDEL.
The Serious Fraud Office's (SFO) element of the Attorney-General’s total DEL will be unchanged at £41,546,000.
The movements within Resource DEL leading to a net change of £131,000 arise from:
The take-up of £ 176,000 of budget transfer from the Home Office for the NFA Action Fraud Programme.
A transfer of £45,000 from Resource DEL to Capital DEL
Total DEL is unchanged as depreciation costs are expected to increase by £176,000.
The HM Procurator-General and Treasury Solicitor (TSol) element of the Attorney-General’s total DEL will be increased by a token £1,000 from £14,879,000 to £14,880,000. This increase will occur within the administration Budget which will increase from £12,945,000 to £12,946,000.
The change in Resource DEL arises from:
A token increase of £1,000 to allow a £5,000,000 increase in appropriations in aid, arising from increased fee and disbursement from clients because of increased volume of legal and related services activity, to be included in the estimate.
