If joists continue over a wall, is it still structural?

Hello all. Update as promised: sent drawings and details to local SE for quotes and their availability. Two came back with big numbers (£££), and a third emailed us to say that this wall is not structural and we do not need SE calcs but a builder. Getting a builder in this weekend :)
No points for guessing which SE we will approach first for our upcoming extension calculations ;)

As an aside, Approved Document A has a very useful table on joist sizes and spacing in domestic dwellings and the spans these can take, p41.
