Cash Limits

HC Deb 01 November 1993 vol 231 c68W

Mr. Garnier

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what changes he proposes to the class I cash limits and running costs limit for 1993–94.

Mr. Rifkind

Subject to parliamentary approval of the winter supplementary estimates, the following change will be made:

Class I, vote 1 cash limits
	£ thousands
Current cash limits	12,408,726
Change	-3,510
Revised cash limit	12,405,216

This change decreases the block defence cash limit by £3,510,000 from £23,406,837,000 to £23,403,327,000. It reflects a transfer between the Ministry of Defence and the Department of Environment to enable Plymouth urban development corporation to purchase Royal William yard.

The running costs limit is unchanged.
