HC Deb 25 January 1989 vol 145 c578W
Mr. Jack

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is proposing any change to the Central Office of Information cash limit for 1988–89.

Mr. Lilley

Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimate, the cash limit for class XIX vote 1 will be increased by £103,000 from £1,181,000 to £1,284,000. The increase will be charged to the reserve and will not therefore add to the planned total of public expenditure. The additional expenditure is needed to cover services provided by the Central Office of Information on an allied service basis.
