Defence written question – answered at on 15 September 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence with reference to his Department's Business Plan 2011-2015, how much has been saved in (a) Resource DEL, (b) Capital DEL, (c) annually-managed expenditure and (d) in total from not bringing into service the Nimrod MRA4 maritime patrol aircraft.
Savings over the next four years are expected to be as follows:
£ million | ||||
2011-12 | 2012-13 | 2013-14 | 2014-15 | |
Resource DEL (near cash) | 85 | 195 | 220 | 210 |
Capital DEL | 55 | 5 | 5 | 15 |
Other Resource DEL | 150 | 150 | 150 | 150 |
Other Resource DEL includes depreciation and the costs of writing down or writing off the value of capital equipment no longer required. In 2010-11, the portion of this cost attributable to decisions made in the Strategic Defence and Security Review was treated as Annually Managed Expenditure. Its treatment in 2011-12 and future years has yet to be decided.
Because Resource DEL includes depreciation, which is the capital cost of equipment spread over time, it cannot be added to Capital DEL to give a total figure.
All figures are planning assumptions and are rounded to the nearest £5 million.
