Subject to Parliamentary approval of any Supplementary Estimate, the Department for Culture Media and Sport's Departmental Expenditure Limit (DEL) will be increased by £58,769,000 from £1,808,003,000 to £1,866,772,000. Within the DEL change, the impact on resource and capital are set out in the following table:

Departmental Expenditure Limits and Administration Budgets
£000
Change New DEL
Voted Non-voted Voted Non-voted Total
Resource DEL 1,560 34,914 179,519 1,405,151 1,584,670
Of which:
Administration budget(1) - - 53,270 - 53,270
Near-cash in RDEL 1,560 34,914 171,001 1,230,060 1,401,061
Capital(2) 12,294 10,001 38,759 341,073 379,832
Less Depreciation(3) - - -5,942 -91,788 -97,730
Total 13,854 44,915 212,336 1,654,436 1,866,772
1 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. 2 Capital DEL includes items treated as resource in Estimates and accounts but which are treated as Capital DEL in budgets. 3 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 £39,800,000 Programme End Year flexibility

Transfer of £3,080,000 to Ministry of Defence for DCMS' contribution to the funding of the meteorological services.

A reduction of £200,000 from the Departmental Unallocated Provision, that was incorrectly scored in the Winter Supplementary Estimate.

The administration cost limit has remained at £53,270,000

The change in the capital element of the DEL arises from

Take up of Capital End-Year Flexibility of £10,000,000

Transfer of £12,249,000 from the DCLG for Olympic costs.
