2 Section 1: Summary of NIO Plans for Provision for was determined in the 2013 spending round. From the baseline set in the 2013 spending round, the NIO agreed real terms reductions of 10%. This is in line with the targets set for the other Territorial Offices (Scotland Office (SO) / Wales Office (WO)). To meet this reduction the NIO has taken a number of steps. New accommodation arrangements have been put in place for both the Core Department in London and some of the Department s Arms Length Bodies in Belfast. The Department has also reduced staffing levels and entered into a new arrangement with Historic Royal Palaces (HRP) for the management of Hillsborough Castle. Together with SO/WO, NIO has exploited opportunities for services to be shared across the territorial offices e.g. a single parliamentary clerk and shared FOI team with the WO. The Department continues to review its business needs and costs with the aim of delivering further efficiencies where possible. Section 2: Overview of the Office s Administration Costs The key purpose of the NIO remains to support the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland in promoting the best interests of Northern Ireland within the United Kingdom. This Estimate provides for the administration costs of the NIO, including the salaries of the Secretary of State and his/her Minister and payments to the Northern Ireland Consolidated Fund.
