§ Mr. John MarshallTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department if he will make a statement on changes to the cash limits of the Public Record Office, class VIII, vote 3 for 1996–97. [14206]
385W
§ Mr. StreeterSubject to parliamentary approval of the necessary supplementary estimate, the cash limit for class VIII, vote 3, has been increased by £1,034,000 from £31,559,000 to £32,593,000. This increase reflects in the main partial take-up of end of year flexibility for running costs or £298,000 and capital expenditure or £731,000). The increase also includes a £5,000 transfer from the Security Facilities Executive—SAFE—to fund the purchase of security advice. The increase will be offset by savings or charged to the reserve and will not, therefore, add to the planned total of public expenditure.
