The table sets out the level 3 figures, based on original published plans, for the Scottish Executive's administration budget, which covers the whole costs of running the Executive, disaggregated where appropriate between departments. Only the administration costs element of the budget, which includes expenditure on pay, office overhead costs, ministers and special advisors is allocated to departments, the remainder of the budget is managed centrally. | 2000-01Original Plans(£ million) | 2001-02Original Plans(£ million) | 2002-03Original Plans(£ million) | 2003-04Original Plans(£ million1)
