HC Deb 14 July 1994 vol 246 cc730-4W
Mr. Burns

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the entitlements for 1994–95 resulting from the carry-forward of capital and running costs underspends allowed under the end-year flexibility schemes.

Mr. Portillo

A list of entitlements totalling £523 million for capital expenditure and £269 million for running costs is shown in the following table.

Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary supplementary estimates, individual cash limits and running costs limits will be increased when entitlement is taken up.

The total increase in cash limits resulting from the take-up of end-year flexibility will be charged to the Reserve and will not therefore add to the planned total of public expenditure.
