HC Deb 11 February 1987 vol 110 cc233-4W
Mr. Colvin

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any changes are proposed in the cash limit for the Inland Revenue.

Mr. Norman Lamont

Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary supplementary estimate, the cash limit for class XIX, vote 7 will be increased by £4,500,000 from £958,817,000 to £963,317,000 to cover extra spending on professional assistance, current computer costs, accommodation and training which is partly offset by a reduction in capital spending on computers. The increase will be charged to the reserve. At the same time, the Department's running cost target will be increased by £6,500,000 from £914,950.000 to £921,450,000.
