To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, pursuant to his answer of 16 December,Official Report, column 874, if he will publish in the Official Report a substantive answer to the question tabled by the hon. Member for Cardiff, West for answer on 16 December 1993 concerning the administrative expenditure of his Department.

Sir John Wheeler

The information which I provided the hon. Member in a letter dated 11 January was as follows:

  1. i. The provisional outturn from 1992–93 is £697 million.
  2. ii. The running costs limit for 1993–94 is £730 million (£707 million at 1992–93 prices). An estimated outturn will be published in the Spring in the "1994 Departmental Report and the Unified Budget Statement".
The 1994 departmental report on expenditure plans and priorities which is available in the Library, gives updated information on these matters.
