§ Mr. LawrenceTo ask the Attorney-General whether any changes have been made to his class XX, vote 16, cash limit and running costs limit for the Treasury Solicitor's Department's estimate.
§ The Attorney-GeneralSubject to parliamentary approval of the necessary supplementary estimate the cash limit has been increased by £293,000 from £12,784,000 to £13,077,000 and the Department's running costs limit by £243,000 from £14,127,000 to £14,370,000. This increase has been charged to the Reserve and will not increase the planned total of public expenditure.
Agreement on the early implementation of the recommendations contained in Sir Robert Andrew's review of the Government legal service, which resulted in the setting up of the lawyers management unit and the early acquisition of a computerised system for repayment billing, was reached too late for provision to be taken in the main estimate, and is therefore reflected in this additional provision.
