HC Deb 29 January 1990 vol 166 cc10-1W
Mr. Bellingham

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on cash and running cost limits for the Northern Ireland departmental services and the Northern Ireland Office in 1989–90.

Mr. Cope

Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary associated Supplementary Estimates, it is proposed that the cash limit for the Northern Ireland Office (NIO1) will be increased by £12,660,000 from £625,649,000 to £638,309,000. This increase reflects a transfer of £12,240,000 from the cash limit for Northern Ireland Departments (NID1) and an increase of £420,000 for capital carryover from 1988–89 under end-year flexibility arrrangements.

The cash limit for NI departmental services (NID1) for 1989–90 will be decreased by £0.8 million from £2707.1 million to £2706.3 million. This change reflects the transfer to NIO1, and a reduction of £0.2 million to cover NI's contribution to the Macfarlane Trust in respect of haemophiliacs who have become infected with HIV, as announced on 23 November 1989 at column 11–12, offset by increases of £7.7 million for Health Service pay, £2.1 million for capital carryover from 1988–89 under the end-year flexibility arrangements, £2.1 million for the beef special premium scheme (offset by a reduction in the cash limit for the Intervention Board of Agricultural Produce—class IV, vote 2—as announced on 23 May 1989 at column 473) and £0.7 million transferred from the Department of Social Security for administration costs relating to social security operations undertaken on an agency basis in NI (offset by a reduction of the same amount in the cash limit for DSS class XV vote 7).

The net increase resulting from these changes will be charged to the reserve.

The running cost limit for NIO and NI Departments will be decreased by £3,730,000 from £543,030,000 to £539,300,000 reflecting efficiency savings emerging, notably in the prisons sector, and other easements resulting from variations in estimated demand.
