Public Record Office

HC Deb 04 February 1993 vol 218 cc247-8W

Mr. Peter Butler

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what changes are planned to class X, vote 12 of the Public Record Office's vote for 1992–93.

Mr. John M. Taylor

The cash limit for class X, vote 12 has been reduced by £3,393,000 from £33,739,000 to £30,346,000 as a result of slippage on a major capital project. In addition, and subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary token supplementary estimate, the running cost limit for class X, vote 12 will be increased by £369,000 from £22,352,000 to £22,721,000 to cover certain payments to Property Holdings. This increase is financed by a transfer of provision from Property Holdings and an increase in receipts.
