Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Service

HC Deb 31 January 1984 vol 53 c155W

Mr. Gale

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether any change will be made to the cash limit for Class IV, Vote 15, Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service.

Mr. Gummer

Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimate, the cash limit for Class IV, Vote 15 will be increased from £12,629,000 by £160,000 to £12,789,000. There will be no addition to the planning total of public expenditure, since a corresponding reduction will be made in the cash limit for Class IV Vote 17 relative to Administration (Department of Employment) which will be reduced from £184,251,000 to £184,091,000. The increase on Vote 15 is required to meet additional expenditure on premises.
