HC Deb 04 February 1994 vol 236 cc960-1W
Mr. Page

To ask the Lord President of the Council what changes he proposes to the Privy Council Office vote cash and running costs limits for 1993–94.

Mr. Newton

Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary supplementary estimate, the cash limit of class XIX, vote 3 will be increased by £7,000 from £2,308,000 to £2,315,000 and the running costs by £47,000 from £2,330,000 to £2,377,000.

The increase in the cash limit reflects the transfer of funds from Property Holdings class VII vote 6 owing to increased accommodation costs and will not add to the planned total of public expenditure.

The increase in the running costs reflects the transfer from Property Holdings; the additional £40,000 is for the cost of the central drugs co-ordination unit and the ambit of class XIX, vote 3 is to be modified accordingly.
