§ Mr. LuffTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what proposals there are to change the 1995–96 cash limit and running costs limit for the Office of Public Service and Science. [27756]
§ Mr. HoramSubject to parliamentary approval of the necessary supplementary estimate the cash limit for the Office of Public Service and Science—class XVIII, vote 1—will be increased by £2,123,000 from £50,590,000 to £52,713,000 and the gross running cost limit will be increased by £13,003,000 from £69,846,000 to £82,849,000. Net running costs for the Civil Service College will decrease by £1,849,000 from £1,849,000 to zero. The increases result from a transfer of civil service management of superannuation functions, and provision from Her Majesty's Treasury—class XVII, vote 1. The increase will be offset by a transfer and will not therefore add to the planned total of public expenditure.
