§ Mr. David PorterTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what changes are proposed in her Department's cash limits for 1993–94.
§ Mrs. Gillian ShephardSubject to parliamentary approval of the necessary supplementary estimate, the cash limit for class III, vote 4—Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food: agricultural, food and fishing services —will be reduced by £12,056,000 from £366,814,000 to £354,758,000. Within this limit, expenditure will be reduced by £10,570,000 on agricultural schemes and by £1,398,000 on flood protection. These reductions reflect a predicted decrease in demand and delay in implementation in further areas of these schemes. The remaining reduction —£88,000—reflects a transfer of funds to the Overseas Development Administration for the St. Petersburg model farm.
