§ Mr. Gregoryasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any changes are proposed in the cash limit for the Inland Revenue.
§ Mr. MooreSubject to parliamentary approval of the necessary supplementary estimate, the cash limit for class XIII vote 6 will be increased by £21,900,000 from £858,715,000 to £880,615,000. This is to cover, in part, some necessary additional expenditure on computers that will be offset by savings in later years and, in part, the cost of overtime associated with an initiative, announced by the Department on 12 November 1985, to reduce arrears of work in local tax offices. The increase will be charged to the reserve and will not therefore add to the planning total of public expenditure.
