§ Mr. Quentin DaviesTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he intends to make any changes to his Department's cash limits for 1991–92.
§ Mr. GummerYes. The cash limit for Class III Vote 4 (other agricultural and food services, support for the fishing industry, arterial drainage, flood and coast protection) will be reduced by £2,000,000 from £267,044,000 to £265,044,000. Within this limit expenditure will be reduced by £1,900,000 on emergency and strategic food services reflecting a reduction in the size of the emergency food stockpile and by £100,000 on extensification to reflect a reduction in demand under these schemes.
The reduced cash limit will offset an increase in the financial ceiling for United Kingdom hill livestock compensatory allowances.
