1. Includes impairments
2. Pension schemes report under FRS 17 accounting requirements. These figures therefore include cash payments made and contributions received, as well as certain non-cash items.
3. Total Departmental spending is the sum of the resource budget and the capital budget less depreciation. Similarly, total DEL is the sum of the resource budget DEL and capital budget DEL less depreciation in DEL, and total AME is the sum of resource budget AME and capital budget AME less depreciation in AME.
* Figures for Plans for staff costs and purchase of goods and services, which include assumptions on future price and pay movements, are redacted in line with HMT guidance.

Notes:
The large increase in spend in 2020-21 on Deliver an ambitious industrial strategy Resource DEL is due to the COVID-19 Business Support Grants (also reflected in the increase for Subsidies to private sector companies and Current grants to local government).

The large increase in spend in 2020-21 on Science and Research Resource DEL is due to the Vaccine Taskforce.

The large increase in spend in 2020-21 and 2021-22 on Government as Shareholder Resource DEL is due to the COVID-19 business support loans.

The large increase in spend in 2019-20 and decrease in 2020-21 on Deliver an ambitious industrial strategy Resource AME is due to the provision raised in 2019-20 for COVID-19 Business Support Grants.

The large increase in spend in 2020-21 on Managing our energy legacy safely and responsibly Capital DEL is due to the Nuclear Liabilities Fund.

The large increase in spend in 2020-21 on Government as Shareholder Capital AME is due to the COVID-19 business support loans.

2019-20 outturn figures differ slightly between lines from those shown in the Statement of Parliamentary Supply as expenditure for Insolvency Service is shown here against Promote competitive markets and responsible business practices and for Financial Reporting Council against Promote competitive markets and responsible business practices (ALB) to reflect current Estimate structures, but was recorded against Government as Shareholder and Government as Shareholder (ALB) respectively in the 2019-20 Estimate.

The large increase in spend in 2015-16 on Delivering affordable energy for households and businesses Resource DEL is due to the Government Electricity Rebate.

Resource DEL expenditure for Nuclear Safeguards Development is shown separately in 2017-18 as this expenditure was funded through a Contingencies Fund advance, pending passage of the Nuclear Safeguards Bill through Parliament. Repayment of that advance in 2018-19 was made against Capability DEL, offset by the credit shown against Nuclear Safeguards Development.

The receipt in 2018-19 against Managing our energy legacy safely and responsibly (CFER) Resource DEL relates to income from coal pension scheme surpluses.

The increase in spend in 2016-17 and 2017-18 against Science and Research Capital DEL and decrease against Science and Research (ALB) Capital DEL reflects the reclassification of expenditure for the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) for Science and Research following the Machinery of Government transfer of HEFCE to the Department for Education. With effect from 2018-19 this expenditure falls under Research England as part of UKRI, under Science and Research (ALB).

The figures for Depreciation in Resource AME include the movement in fair value for Contracts for Difference, shown against Taking action on climate change and decarbonisation and Taking action on climate change and decarbonisation (ALB).

The large movements in take up of provisions within Resource AME in 2015-16, 2017-18 and 2018-19 is due to movements in the long term discount rate for provisions. This largely impacts the lines for Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and Managing our energy legacy safely and responsibly (ALB).

The receipt in 2017-18 against Government as Shareholder (CFER) Capital AME reflects the proceeds from the sale of the Green Investment Bank.

In their role as administrator of the government’s GB Renewable Heat Incentive scheme, Ofgem made payments to scheme participants totalling £943,857,915.73, which, when adjusted for net movement on accrued amounts payable, resulted in expenditure of £919,555,205.89 in the financial year 2021-22. Based on Ofgem’s sampling of the population and subject to our detailed assumptions, we can be 95% confident that the estimated value of error for GB Renewable Heat Incentive scheme payments made or accrued in the financial year 2021-22 is between the upper and lower limits of £14,191,973 and £6,023,279. Based on the same assumptions, the most likely estimated value of error for the same period is £10,107,626. This is less than 1.1 per cent of scheme spend in 2021-22.

Annex B: Financial information by ALB

The table below shows the total operating income, total operating expenditure, net expenditure for the year, and staff numbers and costs for each of our ALBs.

The figures disclosed below will not tie directly to the published ALB accounts due to the figures below including some adjustments which would have been captured in the ALB’s accounts in the previous year.

The staff costs and numbers for nuclear site licence companies (SLC’s) are not included in the table below. SLC’s staff costs are not included in the table below as they are included in the amount shown for utilisation in the NDA’s nuclear decommissioning provision in note 20.
