HC Deb 08 June 1993 vol 226 c187W
Mr. Waterson

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what changes will be made to his Department's cash limits or running cost limits for 1993–94.

Mr. Brooke

Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary revised and new estimates and of the National Lottery etc. Bill, the following changes will be made(i) The cash limit for Class XI, Vote 7 (Department of National Heritage administration) will be reduced by £1,426,000 to £25,294,000. The reduction in the cash limit is the net result of a transfer of £1,500,000 to a New Estimate for Class XI, Vote 8, to provide for the anticipated administrative and operational costs of the Office of the National Lottery, offset partly by an increase in provision of £74,000 for the introduction of the repayment for services provided by the Chessington Computer Centre. (ii) The departmental gross running costs control limit will also be reduced by £1,426,000 from £31,282,000 to £29,856,000 as a result of these changes.
