§ Mr. WilshireTo ask the Prime Minister what proposals there are to change the 1992–93 cash limit or running costs limit for the Cabinet Office: other services vote.
§ The Prime MinisterSubject to parliamentary approval of the necessary supplementary estimate, the cash limit for the Cabinet Office: other services vote (class XIX vote 2) will be increased by £2,000,000 from £23,647,000 to £25,647,000. This increase reflects take-up under the end year flexibility arrangements for capital expenditure as announced by the Chief Secretary to the Treasury on 15 July 1992 (Official Report, columns 698–702). Also, the 883W running costs limit for this vote will be reduced by £120,000 from £20,410,000 to £20,290,000, reflecting the transfer of certain administrative functions following the machinery of Government changes announced after the general election. All the changes are within the forecast outturn for the planning total included in the Chancellor's autumn statement today.
