To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what changes will be made to the resource departmental expenditure limit of British Trade International. [1704]

Ms Hewitt

Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimate, the voted element of the Resource Departmental Expenditure Limit for British Trade International will be increased by £2,000,000, from £84,634,000 to £86,643,000.

This increase, which will be made to the net provision of British Trade International, will be offset by a transfer of £2,000,000 in resources from the Department of Trade and Industry to fund the Enterprise Scholarships and Entrepreneurs Pilot programmes.
