HC Deb 02 February 1995 vol 253 c848W
Dr. Spink

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what changes are proposed in his Department's cash limits for 1994–95.

Mr. Waldegrave

Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary supplementary estimate, the cash limit for class III, vote 4—Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food: agricultural, food and fishing services—will be reduced by £10,045,000 from £372,630,000 to £362,585,000. Within this limit, the estimated provision will be reduced by £6,205,000 on environmentally sensitive area grants and by £3 million on coast protection. The remaining reduction, £840,000, reflects a transfer of funds to the Office of Science and Technology to cover the cost of redundancies arising among staff of the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council seconded to Horticulture Research International.
