HC Deb 28 March 1991 vol 188 c586W
Mr. Bill Walker

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he proposes to make any further changes to the cash limits for 1990–91 within his responsibility.

Mr. Lang

Yes, I intend to change one of the cash limits within my responsibility as follows.

The cash limit for class XV, vote 15, education, arts, libraries and social work, Scotland will be reduced by £1,032,000 from £233,075,000 to £232,043,000. This represents the further cash limit reductions foreshadowed in my answer to the hon. Member for Tayside, North on 1 February at columns 685–86and will offset the amounts of £617,000 required to meet increased expenditure in respect of the St. Helena ship and £415,000 in respect of the Department of the Registers of Scotland.
