§ Mr. Robert B. JonesTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if there are any proposals to change the 1988–89 running costs limit for the Export Credits Guarantee Department.
§ Mr. Alan ClarkThe running costs limit for the Export Credits Guarantee Department in 1988–89 (class V, vote 5) has been reduced by £4,000 from £38,758,000 to £38,754,000. This decrease is offset by a corresponding increase in the running costs limit for the Office of the Minister for the Civil Service (class XX, vote 1) and reflects the transfer of costs for recruitment under the direct entry grade 7 competition 1988.
