HC Deb 02 February 1995 vol 253 cc786-8W
Mr. Duncan

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what further changes he proposes to make in his Department's diplomatic wing cash limits and running costs limits for 1994–95.

Mr. Goodlad

Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary supplementary estimates, the following changes will be made.

The cash limit for class II, vote 1, overseas representation, will be increased by a token amount of £1,000 from £688,207,000 to £688,208,000. Parliamentary authority will be sought for additional provision for higher than expected expenditure on running costs, other current expenditure and capital as a result of adverse overseas price expenditure and capital as a result of adverse overseas price movements; to take up capital provision of £13,940,000 under the end-year flexibility scheme, as announced by the then Chief Secretary of the Treasury on 14 July 1994, Official Report, columns 729–34, and to reflect inter-departmental transfers totalling £239,000 net. These increases are offset by reduced running costs and by increased appropriations in aid.

The gross running costs limit on class II, vote 1 will be reduced by £12,715,000 from £512,892,000 to £500,177,000. This is a net decrease taking account of transfers between departments, adjustment for adverse overseas price movements and additional VAT receipts.

The cash limit for class II, vote 2, other external relations, will be increased by a token amount of £1,000 from £456,842,000 to £456,843,000. Parliamentary authority will be sought for additional expenditure in respect of certain international organisations and for adverse overseas price movements. The increase will be met by increased appropriations in aid and by provision from elsewhere in the vote.

The cash limit for class II, vote 4, the British Council, will be increased by £2,119,000 from £97,499,000 to £99,618,000 in respect of adverse overseas price movements. The increase will be met from the reserve.
