HC Deb 10 March 1999 vol 327 c265W
Mr. Pike

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what changes will be made to the cash limits for his Department. [76351]

Mr. Byers

Further to my answer given to the House on 11 February 1999,Official Report, columns 412–13, and subject to Parliamentary approval of the necessary revised supplementary estimate, the cash limit for Class V, Vote 2—Department of Trade and Industry: Science—will be increased by £15,000,000 from £1,367,459,000 to £1,382,459,000. This net increase results from additional provision of £15,000,000 for part funding of the University Challenge Fund.

This net increase will be charged to the reserve and will not therefore add to the planned total of public expenditure.

Forward to
