§ Mr. Muddasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and food whether it is proposed to change the cash limit on any departmental Vote for which he has responsibility.
§ Mr. JoplingSubject to parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimate the cash limit for Class III Vote 4 "Central Administration (Intervention Board for Agricultural Produce)" will be increased by £253,000 from £18,155,000 to £18,408,000. The increase will be offset by a reduction of £163,000 from £94,892,000 to 387W £94,729,000 in the cash limit for Class III Vote 3 "Other Agricultural and Food Services (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food)" with the balance of £90,000 being charged to the Contingency Reserve and will not therefore add to the planning total of public expenditure. The increase for Class III Vote 4 mainly reflects an unforeseen increase in the demands made on the intervention board.
