It should be noted that the breakdown of the Council's budget in figure 3 and table 1 is in line with revised definitions given below. This means that they are not directly comparable with the breakdown in CP2.
• ODA agency refers to money received from ODA for programmes handled by the Council and paid to external recipients on ODA's behalf. It excludes the aid administration grant (see paragraph 6.6, page 6).
• FCO agency refers to money received from FCO, principally for its Scholarships and Awards Scheme (SAS), and paid to external recipients on FCO's behalf.
• Other agency refers to money, including sponsorship, received from bodies other than the FCO or ODA, and paid to external recipients on their behalf.
• Revenue represents all money received by the Council that is neither agency nor part of any government grant. From 1991/92 it includes all income for services previously funded through the aid administration grant.
• Government grants comprise the grants-in-aid from the diplomatic and aid (ODA) wings of the FCO (28%); the higher education grant from ODA (1%) and additionally, for 1990/91 only, the grant for aid administration services (6%). In 1991/92
government grants also include the non-recurrent relocation grant from FCO.
• Staff and running costs include salary, superannuation, national insurance and other allowances, and expenses and costs that enable an office to function. Non-recurrent government grant funds in 1990/91, invested in capital expenditure (£2 million), are included in UK staff and running costs for that year only. In 1991/92, the non-recurrent grant for relocation (£7,3 million) is included in UK staff and running costs.
• British Council programmes are funded from income other than agency.
It should be noted that, throughout the Plan, financial forecasts of income assume:
no additions to the government grant after 1990/91 for British Council programmes. Additional funds required to achieve the objectives outlined in the Plan are summarized in table 9 on page 27
no increase to the government grant after 1990/91 to compensate for exceptional risen costs. The Council's contingency planning for this situation and the damage to operations that would result are outlined in chapter 7 and paragraphs 16.20-23
• no FCO SAS increases beyond 1990/91-92.
