The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (Mr William Hague)
Subject to parliamentary approval of any necessary supplementary estimate, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office departmental expenditure limit (DEL) will be increased by £75,228,000 from the £2,223,026,000 in the winter supplementary estimate to £2,298,254,000. The administration budget will be increased by £6,059,000 from the £484,698,000 in the winter supplementary estimate to £490,757,000. Within the DEL change, the impact on resources and capital are as set out in the following table:
Voted | Non-Voted | Voted | Non-Voted | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Resource | 97,069 | -15,000 | 2,221,450 | 14,000 | 2,235,450 |
Of which: | |||||
Administration budget | 21.059 | -15,000 | 489,127 | 1,630 | 490,757 |
Capital* | -841 | - | 167,854 | - | 167,854 |
Depreciation** | -6,000 | - | -105,050 | - | -105,050 |
Total | 90,228 | -15,000 | 2,284,254 | 14,000 | 2,298,254 |
*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. |
Voted and non-voted Resource DEL has increased from £2,153,381,000 in the Winter Supplementary Estimate to £2,235,450,000. The administration and programme elements of this net increase are set out below:
