§ Mr. OppenheimTo ask the Prime Minister if there are any proposals to change the 1989–90 cash limit and running costs limit for the Cabinet Office: other services.
§ The Prime MinisterSubject to parliamentary approval of the necessary revised estimate the cash limit for the Cabinet Office: Other Services (class XX, vote 2) has been reduced by £2,764,000 from £19,403,000 to £16,639,000. This decrease will be offset by a corresponding increase in the cash limit for the Central Statistical Office (class XIX, vote 18) and reflects the transfer of part provision between the Cabinet Office and Central Statistical Office as a result of the reorganisation of the statistical services which I announced on 5 April 1989.
The running costs limit for the Cabinet Office: Other Services has been reduced by £2,901,000 from £20,984,000 to £18,083,000 in the main as a result of the functions transferred to the Central Statistical Office (£2,898,000) and also to provide £3,000, reclassified from running costs, as a grant in aid to the British national committee for the history of the second world war.
