§ Mr. DunnTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what further changes he proposes to make to his Department's cash limits for 1993–94.
§ Mr. MacGregorFurther to the reply that I gave to my hon. Friend on 4 February 1994 at col.1004, subject to parliamentary approval of a revised spring supplementary estimate the cash limit for class VI, vote 2 will now be increased by £30,778,000 from £202,236,000 to £233,014,000. There is no change to the previously announced reduction of £309,000 in the Department's running costs limit. The additional £20,000,000 now sought on vote 2 is to provide a payment to the United States Government if, as expected, we are shortly able to conclude an agreement to settle a dispute with them over airport user charges. The addition on this vote will be offset by a further reduction in the cash limit on class VI, vote 1 of £20,000,000 from £2,249,797,000 to £2,229,797,000. The extra provision now sought on vote 2 will not therefore add to the control total of public expenditure.
