§ Mr. ArbuthnotTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy whether any changes will be made to the Office of Electricity Regulation's cash limit for 1990–91.
§ Mr. WakehamA supplementary estimate will be sought by the Director General of the Office of Electricity Regulation, who is accountable for this vote.
Subject to parliamentary approval of the supplementary estimate, the cash limit for class V, vote 8 relating to expenditure by the Office of Electricity Regulation will be increased by £1,500,000 from £10,635,000 to £12,135,000 to provide for slippage of setting up costs from 1989–90 into 1990–91. This increase will be charged to the reserve and will not therefore add to the planned total of public expenditure.
