HC Deb 17 February 1981 vol 999 c102W
Mr. Stanbrook

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether any revision to the cash limit for Northern Ireland departmental services is to be made.

Mr. Alison

Yes. Subject to parliamentary approval of the Northern Ireland Spring Supplementary Estimates, the cash limit has been reduced by £14.8 million to £1,581.2 million. I should like to emphasise that this reduction arises from a switch of resources from cash limited to non-cash limited services, and does not involve any reduction in the total level of resources available to Northern Ireland Departments.
