§ Mr. ColvinTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he proposes to make any changes in his Department's diplomatic wing cash limits and running cost limits for 1989–90.
§ Mr. SainsburyThe cash limit for class II, vote 1 (overseas representation) will be increased by £24,327,000 from £453,770,000 to £478,097,000. In addition, the running costs limit on vote 1 will be increased by £14,146,000 from £434,521,000 to £448,667,000. These changes reflect increased costs due to the introduction of new visa regimes in Turkey and the Mahgreb, and the adverse effect of overseas price movements.
The cash limit for class I, vote 2 (other external relations) will increase by £3,573,000 from £171,499,000 to £175,072,000. This takes account of increased costs on ONUCA, Mozambique military training and higher than forecast expenditure on our contributions to international organisations due to the adverse effect of overseas price movements.
The cash limit for class II, vote 4 (the British Council) will increase by £285,000 from £64,111,000 to £64,396,000 to take account of the adverse effect of overseas price movements.
