HC Deb 02 February 1988 vol 126 c532W
Mr. Patnick

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has plans to increase the Property Services Agency's civil running cost limit during the current financial year.

Mr. Chope

Subject to the approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimate, the PSA's civil running cost limit on Class XX Vote 19 will be increased by £4.976 million from £141.772 million to £146.748 million, due to an underprovision for work undertaken by the agency's directly employed industrial labour force. This is offset by a reduction in non-running cost expenditure within the cash limit, which remains unchanged.
