Financial allocations for each body, which is funded from my Department's Vote, are agreed each year as part of the Annual Financial Estimates/Budget process and are based on available resources and an evaluation of individual agency needs in line with both its existing level of service requirements and any new or additional services that are to be introduced. The global amounts for 2007 and 2008 Estimates for the various bodies are included in the details of my Department's Vote, which are set out at page 1.66 and 1.67 of the 2008 Budget document.

I can advise that more details on the annual budgets for the agencies, with the exception of the agency referred to below, are available in their respective Annual Reports and Accounts, which should be available in the library of the Houses.

The National Salmon Commission has no budget allocation.
