Answer

Mr. Allan: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what the budget for the (a) Delivery Unit, (b) Office of Public Sector Reform, (c) Charter Mark Unit, (d) Beacon Unit, (e) Media Monitoring Team, (f) Corporate Communications Team and (g) Strategy Unit (i) was for each year since 1997-98, (ii) is for 2004-05 and (iii) will be for 2005-06; and if she will make a statement. [197645] Ruth Kelly: Resource Budgets for the Delivery Unit, Office of Public Service Reform and the Strategy Unit since their inception are as follows. _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Unit Delivery unit Office of public service reform Strategy unit 2001-02 1.4 1.4 n/a 2002-03 3.8 5.4 6.3 2003-04 3.8 3.8 4.8 2004-05 3.9 2.3 3.7 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Notes: 1. All figures shown in £ million. 2. The figures for the Office of Public Service Reform (OPSR) from 2002-03 onwards include the budget for the Charter Mark and Beacon Scheme which was merged with OPSR in 2002. Budgetary information for the Charter Mark Unit and the Beacon Unit for 2001-02 and or the Corporate Communications Team for the period 2001-02 to 2004-05 is not readily identifiable from the Cabinet Office's accounting system and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. The Media Monitoring Unit (MMU) has a nil budget and operates on a cost-recovery basis. The Unit's running costs are recovered in total through contributions from each of the departments and agencies that use MMU's services. Budgets for 2005-06 will be finalised following completion of the Cabinet Office's business planning round.
