HL Deb 01 November 1995 vol 566 c164WA
Lord Marlesford

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What External Finance Limit has been set for the current financial year for the Commonwealth Development Corporation (CDC).

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

The External Finance Limit for CDC for 1995–96 is being increased by £4,000,000 from £15,000,000 to £19,000,000. The limit takes account of an increase in the provision for CDC in Class II, Vote 5, provision for which is made in the Winter Supplementary Estimate. This increase is being met by transfer of resources within the Vote and does not add to the planned total of public expenditure.
