HC Deb 12 July 1996 vol 281 cc326-31W
Mr. Matthew Banks

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the entitlements for 1996–97 resulting from the carry forward of underspends allowed under the endyear flexibility schemes for capital, running costs, health, Ministry of Defence operating costs, EU structural funds and Jubilee line extension expenditure. [37693]

Mr. Waldegrave

A list of entitlements totalling £369 million for capital expenditure; £498 million for running costs; £268 million for health expenditure; £285 million for MOD operating costs expenditure; £359 million for EU structural funds and £30 million for expenditure on the Jubilee line extension is shown in the table.

Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimates, individual cash limits and running costs limits will be increased when entitlement is taken up.

The total increase in cash limits resulting from the take-up of end-year flexibility will be charged to the Reserve and will not therefore add to the planned total of public expenditure.
