HC Deb 07 June 1989 vol 154 cc152-3W
Mr. Gwilym Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he proposes to make any changes to the 1989–90 cash limits for class XVII, vote 5 and WO/UA1.

Mr. Peter Walker

Yes. Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimate for class XVII, vote 6, I propose to increase the WO/UA1 urban aid non voted cash limit by £7,000,000, from £58,646,000 to £65,646,000. This will permit enhanced land acquisition this year by the Cardiff Bay development corporation.

This increase will be offset by reductions elsewhere within my expenditure programmes and will not therefore add to the planned total of public expenditure.

These savings are being found from the roads and transport section of class XVII, vote 5. Accordingly, the cash limit for this vote is being reduced by £7,000,000, from £273,711,000 to £266,711,000.
