2 Main Estimates, 2014-15 Section 1. Introduction
1. Supply Estimates are the means by which the Government seeks authority from Parliament for its own spending each year. The Main Estimates start this process and are presented to Parliament by the Treasury at around the start of the financial year to which they relate.
2. The format of Supply Estimates is described in detail in Section 2; Section 3 describes the way in which Parliament considers the Supply Estimates; Section 4 summarises the rules on the treatment of income in Estimates; and Section 5 consists of individual departmental Estimates themselves.
The main spending aggregates
3. The present basis for planning and controlling public expenditure was announced in the Economic and Fiscal Strategy Report 1998, Stability and Investment in the Long Term (Cm 3978) and the Comprehensive Spending Review, Modern Public Services for Britain: Investing in Reform (Cm 4011) and took effect from 1999-2000.
4. Total Managed Expenditure (TME) includes resource and capital Departmental Expenditure Limits (DEL) for which plans were set in the Spending Review 2010 and Annually Managed Expenditure (AME). AME is subject to annual review as part of the Budget process. In addition the Spending Round 2013 added plans up to 2014-15.
5. The main elements of DEL and AME that are not funded through the Supply Estimates are central government expenditure funded directly from other sources, e.g. the National Insurance Fund.
2014-15 Main Supply Estimates
6. The total resource and capital expenditure, for which authority is sought in the 2014-15 Main Estimates presented on 29 April, is £571.5 billion. This spending is consistent with the Government’s plans for public expenditure as a whole. Further information is contained in individual departmental Annual Reports and Accounts to be published in the summer.
7. Table 1 below shows the total voted Supply provision sought for 2014-15 for Estimates presented on 29 April compared to the provision for 2013-14 and the outturn for 2012-13.
8. Table 2 in Section 5 shows: the voted net resource and capital requirement within each of the budgetary boundaries; and the net cash requirements sought for each Estimate in 2014-15 presented on 29 April; the total provision for 2013-14; and the outturn for 2012-13.
