Department for Constitutional Affairs (DCA): £214.73m (–11.63% on 2005/06 (£243m)). The completion of a major three year investment in a civil and criminal court modernisation programme has resulted in a more balanced position, with a centrally managed IT infrastructure operating across headquarters, courts and tribunals services. As capital investment plans have reduced, we have incurred higher operating costs as a result of the new and modernised IT services supplied by outsourced providers.

Ministry of Defence (MOD): £1,350m (+19.46% on 2005/06 (£1,130m)). The £936M which was correctly quoted for the previous Transformational Government Report has increased as a result of the restatement in the 2006–07 accounts to £1,130m – this figure should be used as the comparator. This results in a year on year increase (on a comparable basis) of £220M. A substantial part of the increase is a result of the DII/F project. Support to Operations also accounts for part of the increase.
