§ Ms LawrenceTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the amounts for 1997–98 resulting from the carry forward of underspends allowed under the end-year flexibility schemes for capital, running costs, health, EU structural funds and nationalised industries expenditure. [9759]
§ Mr. DarlingA list of amounts for end-year flexibility totalling £198 million for capital expenditure; £387 million for running costs; £234 million for health expenditure; £499 million for EU structural funds and £63 million for Nationalised Industries expenditure is shown in tables that have been placed in the Library.
Subject to Parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimates, individual cash limits and running costs limits will be increased when end-year flexibility 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.
