§ Mr. Quentin DaviesTo ask the Secretary of Slate for Energy whether any changes will be made to his Department's cash limits or running costs limits for 1989–90.
§ Mr. Wakeham[pursuant to his reply, 26 January 1990, Official Report, col. 904]: The cash limit for class VI, vote 6 relating to expenditure on the privatisation of the electricity supply industry in England and Wales has been reduced by £14,000,000 from £30,000,000 to £16,000,000. This change reflects reductions in expenditure on the expenses of privatising the electricity supply industry in 1989–90 resulting from the delay in the vesting which I announced in September last year, and the consequent delay in the flotation of the area boards and the generating companies.
