§ Mr. Gwilym JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what changes he proposes to make to his Department's cash limits for 1991–92.
§ Mr. David HuntThe cash limit for Welsh Office/local authorities capital—LACAP—will be reduced by £16,323,000 from £397,362,000 to £381,039,000 and the cash limit for Welsh Office/Housing for Wales will be increased by £17,323,000 from £111,224,000 to £128,547,000.
These changes largely reflect a transfer of resources—£17,323,000—from local authorities to Housing for Wales which will enable housing associations to provide additional housing units.
The reduction in WO/LACAP in respect of this transfer has been partly offset by an increase of £1 million as a result of a transfer of provision from the Lord Chancellor's Department. A corresponding reduction is being made in the cash limit for class X, vote 1. This transfer will facilitate the provision of courtroom facilities at Swansea.
