HC Deb 26 January 1990 vol 165 cc920-1W
Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any changes are proposed in the cash limit and running cost limit for 1989–90 for the Inland Revenue.

Mr. Lilley

Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimate the cash limit for class XIX vote 7 will be increased from £1,234,973,000 to £1,237,173,000 and the running cost limit for Inland Revenue from £1,202,092,000 to £1,202,308,000. The change in running cost limit arises from a transfer from the Cabinet Office (Office of the Minister for the Civil Service) for challenge funding (class XX, vote 1) and the costs associated with the distribution of profit-related pay pamphlets (these are recovered from HM Treasury—class XIX, vote 11). The change in the cash limit also includes an amount for capital to provide for purchase of land in Nottingham for the relocation of London headquarters staff; this increase will be met from existing but unallocated public expenditure provision.
