Departmental Public Expenditure

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland 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 as follows:

£000
2007-08 main estimates (net resource) 2007-08 winter supplementary (net resource)
