HC Deb 02 February 1987 vol 109 c531W
Mr. Moynihan

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what changes he proposes to make to the cash limits on his votes and to his Department's running costs limit.

Mr. Moore

The cash limit for Class VIII, Vote 1 is to be reduced by £4 million from £894,197,000 to £890,197,000 and the cash limit for Class VIII, Vote 4 is to be reduced by £2,290,000 from £113,705,000 to £111,415,000, these reductions offsetting an increase of £6,129,000 from £175,242,000 to £181,371,000 on the cash limit for Class VIII, Vote 2, which is subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimate.

Also subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimate, the cash limit for Class VIII, Vote 5 is to be increased by £2,711,000 from £194,011,000 to £196,722,000. The increase will be offset by savings on Class VIII, Vote 3 and will not therefore add to the planning total of public expenditure.

Running costs of the Department of Transport on Class VIII, Vote 2 have been increased by £2,129,000 and on Class VIII, Vote 4 have been decreased by £2,290,000, reducing the running costs limit by £161,000, from £286,504,000 to £286,343,000. This £161,000 will be transferred to Customs and Excise's running cost limit to cover the cost of an origins and destinations survey which it is undertaking on behalf of the Department of Transport.
