APPENDIX D

THE COST OF THE COMMISSION

D.1 The Commission's resources are mainly made available through the Department for Constitutional Affairs (DCA) in accordance with section 5 of the Law Commissions Act 1965.

D.2 This year, the Commission has adopted a new approach to the method in which it records the cost of the Commission. In previous Annual Reports the Commission has taken into account the cost of its overheads, which are calculated by DCA based on apportionment. The formula used for these calculations has changed on a number of occasions, making it difficult to compare year-on-year expenditure. Figures have therefore, been provided for the last three financial years, so that it is for the first time possible to compare those resources over which the Commission has direct control.

D.3 Contributions from Whitehall Departments are on occasion received by the Commission to cover resources it requires in order to undertake a particular Law Reform Project. These figures are not included here.

D.4 Costs such as Commissioners' pensions and Superannuation are also calculated by DCA and, again, are not included.
