180W
§ Mr. HowardSubject to parliamentary approval of the necessary revised estimate, the cash limit for class VIII, vote 1—Home Office administration, police, probation and other services, England and Wales—will be reduced by £1,799,000 from £4,438,456,000 to £4,436,657,000. This will enable the transfer of £1,694,000 to the Lord Chancellor's Department in respect of the transfer of responsibility for marriage guidance and a running costs transfer of £105,000 to the Privy Council Office in respect of the Home Office contribution to the central drugs co-ordination unit.
In consequence of these changes the Home Office gross running costs limit will be reduced by £105,000 from £1,740,436,000 to £1,740,331,000.
