HC Deb 05 April 1984 vol 57 c625W
3. Mr. Thurnham

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is satisfied with current arrangements for individual Government Departments to carry over expenditure at the year end.

Mr. Peter Rees

Under the new scheme which was announced last July, the first carry over of underspends will be from 1983–84 to 1984–85. The scheme should help to improve the management of expenditure programmes.
