§ Mr. SweeneyTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what changes he proposes to make to the cash limits for class XV, vote 2 and to the local authority capital cash limit for his Department for the current financial year.
§ Mr. RedwoodThe cash limit on class XV, vote 2 will be reduced by £6,750,000 from £160,331,000 to £153,581,000. The local authority capital limit tWO/LACAP—will be increased by £6,750,000 from £476,465,000 to £483,215,000.
The reduction in the cash limit for vote 2 results from a forecast underspend on urban regeneration schemes and lower than forecast costs for land reclamation projects on account of reduced inflation and competitive pricing.
The increase in WO/LACAP provides for expenditure on information technology for local government reorganisation.
Neither of the proposed changes will add to the planned total of public expenditure.
