To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what arrangements have been made to meet the expenditure of the proposed Broadcasting Standards Council.

Mr. Hurd

Parliamentary approval to this new service has been sought in the Supply Estimates for 1988–89 (Class, XI, Vote 3—HC 339). Pending that approval, urgent expenditure estimated at £130,000 will be met by a repayable advance from the contingencies funds.
