§ Mr. DuncanTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether he plans to announce any further changes to cash limits within his responsibility. [17952]
§ Sir John Wheeler[pursuant to his reply, 3 February, c. 919–20]: The cash limit for class XVI, vote 1—the Northern Ireland Office—will be reduced by £3,000,000 from £928,905,000 to £925,905,000. The reduction in the cash limit reflects a projected underspend in police costs and will be used to offset increases elsewhere within the Northern Ireland block.
