§ Mr. Cyril D. TownsendTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what proposals he has to change the 1994–95 cash limit and running costs limit for Ordnance Survey.
§ Mr. AtkinsSubject to parliamentary approval of the necessary supplementary estimate for Ordnance Survey, class VII, vote 10, the cash limit has been increased by £1,357,000 from £14,856,000 to £16,213,000 to take up a capital end-year flexibility entitlement of 1,354,000, announced by the Chief Secretary to the Treasury on 14 July,Official Report column 729–34, due to the slippage of payment for capital expenditure from 1993–94.
In addition, the running-cost limit has been increased by £3,000 from £16,162,000 to £16,165,000 due to a transfer of £3,000 from the Treasury in respect of repayment of the average property price list. The increases will be offset by a transfer and a claim on the reserve and will not therefore add to the planned total of public expenditure.
