Mr. Andy StewartTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy whether any changes will be made to his Department's cash limit or running cost limit for 1990–91.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonSubject to parliamentary approval of the necessary revised estimate, the cash limit for class V, vote 3 and the running costs limit for the Department of Energy will be reduced by £200,000 from £39,517,000 to £39,317,000 and from £42,170,000 to £41,970,000 respectively. The reduction follows recent agreement that the Department of Energy should no longer take financial provision for that part of the United Kingdom mission in Vienna which deals with the affairs of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Responsibility for these costs will in future rest with the FCO.
