HC Deb 06 December 1988 vol 143 c100W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the difference between his forecast for cash-limited vote expenditure for the first half of 1988–89 and the outturn; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Major

Table 1.8 of the Winter Supplementary Estimates (HC 690) shows Departments' estimates of outturn for cash-limited vote expenditure in the first six months of 1988–89. The table also shows Departments' forecasts of expenditure in the first six months, prepared earlier in the year.
