§ Mr. Andrew BowdenTo 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 MinisterBoth the overall cash limit and the running costs limit for Cabinet Office: Other Services (class XX, vote 2) have been reduced by £178,000: from £16,639,000 to £16,461,000 and from £18,083,000 to £17,905,000 respectively. These decreases go to offset corresponding increases in the cash limit and running costs limit for the Central Statistical Office (class XIX vote 18) and reflects the transfer of part provision between the Cabinet Office and the Central Statistical Office as a result of the reorganisation of the statistical services which I announced on 5 April 1989.
