§ Mr. HealdTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what proposals he has to change his Department's cash limits and running costs limits in 1994–95.
§ Mr. Portillo[pursuant to his reply, 2 February 1995, c. 770]: Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary revised supplementary estimate, the following change will be made:
- (a) the cash limit for class V, vote 1—Department of Employment: programmes and central services—will now be increased by £28,549,000 from £2,302,056,000 to £2,330,605,000. The increase in the cash limit arises from additional Employment Department group restructuring costs.
The increase will be offset by savings, transfers or charged to the reserve and will not therefore add to the planned total of public expenditure.
