HC Deb 04 February 1977 vol 925 c481W
Mr. Ridley

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will state any changes in the coverage of cash limits which he is planning to introduce in the next financial year.

Mr. Joel Barnett

The coverage of the cash limits for 1977–78 will be made clear when they are published in due course.

Mr. Forman

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the minor exceptions being made to the cash limits rule as it applies to central Government expenditure.

Mr. Joel Barnett

I have nothing to add at present to the list of changes given in part B of my answer to my hon. Friend the Member for York (Mr. Lyon) on 6th December—[Vol. 992, c. 65.]—local authority cash limits were also included in that list but can be separately identified from the inclusion of "LA" in their cash block number.
