Public Expenditure Survey

HC Deb 07 July 1988 vol 136 cc654-5W

Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will provide a detailed breakdown for the years 1982–83 to 1990–91, by nature of item and functional area of charge, of the receipts to his programme classified as charges for the purposes of the public expenditure survey.

Mr. Parkinson

The breakdown of receipts classified as charges for the purposes of the public expenditure survey in my Department's programmes are shown in the table (by programme as set out in table 6.1 of the public expenditure White Paper, Cm. 288-II). The figures, with the exception of those indicated in note 4 to the table, are consistent with those given in the answer from my right hon. Friend the Chief Secretary to the Treasury on 27 May 1988 at columns375–76. They relate to receipts in respect of programme expenditure; receipts in respect of running costs expenditure are not included.

Notes:

1. Figures for 1982–83 to 1986–87 align with Appropriation Accounts.

2. A breakdown by programme is not available for 1989–90 and 1990–91.

No receipts after 1985–86 as a result of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority operating as a trading fund from 1 April 1986.
