§ Mr. Beaumont-Darkasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has any change to announce in the cash limit on the Vote which compensates Her Majesty's Stationery Office for the provision of reports of parliamentary debates at less than full cost and for price concessions to public libraries.
§ Mr. HayhoeHer Majesty's Stationery Office supplies official publications to public libraries at a discount of 50 per cent. The volume of these sales has been greater than was provided for in the Estimate for 1982–83. Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimate, the cash limit for Class XIII, Vote 22, of which this provision forms a part, will be increased by £393,000 from £6,403,000 to £6,796,000. The increase will be charged to the Contingency Reserve and will not therefore add to the planning total of public expenditure.
