HL Deb 01 November 1995 vol 566 c161WA
Lord Marlesford

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What changes have been made in the 1995–96 cash limit for expenditure by the Overseas Development Administration.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimate, the cash limit on the External Assistance Vote (Class II, Vote 5) will be increased by £4,919,000 from £1,759,074,000 to £1,763,993,000. The increase is in respect of rollover of underspending against the 1994–95 External Assistance Vote. The increase will be offset by a claim on the Reserve and will not, therefore, add to the planned total of public expenditure.
