Departmental Public Expenditure

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport pursuant to the Winter Supplementary Estimates (HC 29), if he will break down his Department's (a) main estimate and (b) winter supplementary estimate provision by subhead in (i) near cash and (ii) non-cash terms.
Answer

Near-cash and non-cash are essentially used as Departmental Expenditure Limit (DEL) budgetary control concepts and are not specifically identified with voted resources in Estimates. However, we have been able to break down net total resources for each section in the Part II: Subhead detail table of our Main and Winter Supplementary Estimates.Line F, funding for the Royal Parks Agency in RfR1 includes non-cash costs of £2.571 million which did not increase in the Winter Supplementary Estimate. Similarly Line 1, relating to Administration and Research has non-cash costs totalling £5.947 million that have not increased in year. All other provision in the Estimate is near cash.
