§ Mr. Malinsasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what are the latest plans for expenditure by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in 1983–84.
§ Mr. Peter ReesPlanned expenditure by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (including the Overseas Development Administration) in 1983–84, taking account of Budget and other changes since the public expenditure White Paper (Cmnd. 8789), amounts to £1,719 million. Unfortunately, a different figure was published by mistake in my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer's autumn statement. There is a consequential change to the total for 1983–84 which should read £119,843 million rather than £119,807 million. This change does not affect any other figures published in the autumn statement.
