HC Deb 31 October 1995 vol 265 c140W
Mr. Clifton-Brown

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what changes have been made in the 1995–96 cash limit for expenditure by the Overseas Development Administration. [41142]

Mr. Hanley

Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary supplementary estimate, the cash limit on the external assistance vote, class II, vote 5, will be increased by £4,919,000 from £1,759,074,000 to £1,763,993,000. The increase is in respect of rollover of underspending against the 1994–95 external assistance vote. The increase will be offset by a claim on the reserve and will not, therefore, add to the planned total of public expenditure.
