§ Mr. ColvinTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has any changes to announce to his Department's cash limits for 1989–90.
§ Mr. ChopeYes. To enable the transfer of some 4,500 dwellings from the Commission for the New Towns to Peterborough city council, I have issued a supplementary capital allocation of £24,039,200 to the council covering the transfer price. The non-voted cash limit DOE/NT1 (New Towns) has been correspondingly reduced by £24,039,200 from minus £420,646,000 to minus £444,685,200. The transaction will not therefore add to the total of planned public expenditure.
