Subject to Parliamentary approval of any necessary Supplementary Estimate, National Savings and Investments DEL will be increased by £9,000,000 from £170,294,000 to £179,294,000 and the administration costs limits will be increased by £9,000,000 from £170,294,000 to £179,294,000. Within DEL change, the impact on resources and capital are set out in the following table:
| £'000 | |||||
| Change | New Del | Total | |||

| Total | 14,000 | -5,000 | 176,764 | - | 176,764 |
| * 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 the DEL arises from end year flexibility being drawn down to support expenditure on major project commitments.
There is no change in the capital element of DEL.
