HC Deb 21 March 1983 vol 39 c301W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether, pursuant to his reply to the hon. Member for Warley, East on 10 March, Official Report, c. 499, he will elucidate the changed method of providing funds for purchases by the Ulster Museum which has been operative during 1980–81 to 1982–83 inclusive; what sums have been devoted to expenditure on purchases during each of those years; what sums were devoted to expenditure on purchases during each of those years; what sums were devoted to expenditure on general expenses, including salaries, during each of those years; if, under the system which has operated for those three years, fixed sums for purchases are in practice earmarked at the beginning of the financial year; and if there is any liability to surrender any unexpended balances to the Consolidated Fund.

Mr. Scott

I shall reply to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
