HC Deb 19 May 1977 vol 932 c276W
Mr. Sainsbury

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how the amounts shown for expenditure on the "Central management of the Civil Service" in Table 2.13, Volume II of the Public Expenditure White Paper, Command Paper No. 6721—II, are derived; and what principal categories of expenditure are included under that heading.

Mr. Joel Barnett

The entry in Table 2.13 of Cmnd 6721–11 provides for the main functions of the Civil Service Department. Details are given in the relevant Supply Estimate, Class XIII, Vote 12, Sections A-D and a comparison with the provision in the White Paper, re-valued to Estimate prices, is shown in the Programme Summary Table 1 in the introduction to Class XIII of Supply Estimates.
