HC Deb 01 December 1993 vol 233 c621W
Ms Gordon

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the total estimated saving to the Treasury from the proposed cuts in section 11 funding.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

Departmental expenditure plans are reviewed annually and details of planned provision are set out in Home Office annual reports. Reductions in future financial provision for section 11 grant were made in the context of the 1992 public expenditure survey. The following table shows planned provisions for section 11 grant in the 1991 and 1992 public expenditure surveys, as published in the annual reports of 1992 and 1993 respectively.

£ million
1992–93 1993–94 1994–95 1995–96
Annual Report 1992 130 136 139
Annual Report 1993 131 111 97

Year-on-year differences in expenditure plans reflect a range of factors such as changed assumptions as to inflation.
