Central Office of Information (Cash Limit)

HC Deb 01 July 1982 vol 26 cc370-1W

Mr. Ancram

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has any changes to make on the cash limit for the vote of the Central Office of Information, Class XIV, Vote 3.

Mr. Brittan

Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary revised estimate, the cash limit for the COI, Class XIV, Vote 3, will be reduced by £1 million from £41,548,000 to £40,548,000. This reduction is mainly due to savings in recruitment publicity for the Armed Forces made possible by better recruiting results in recent months. Other savings have also been identified in the production of films and publications.
