HC Deb 03 November 1987 vol 121 c621W
Mr. Sackville

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether any changes will be made to the Office of Fair Trading's cash limit or running costs for 1987–88.

Mr. Maude

Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimates the cash limit on class XX, vote 16 will be increased by £444,000 from £9.585 million to £10.029 million. This increase will be charged to the Reserve and will not therefore add to the planning total of public expenditure. The running cost limit is increased by £416,000 from £9.065 million to £9.481 million. The additional expenditure is required in connection with the installation and development of the consumer credit licensing branch computerisation project.
