§ Mr. Clifton-BrownTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what proposals he has to change the Overseas Development Administration cash limits for 1995–96. [41142]
§ Mr. Hanley[pursuant to his reply, 31 October 1995, c. 140]: The answer should have read: "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 £1,759,358,000 to £1,764,277,000. 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. The cash limit includes the cost of services provided in connection with the privatisation of the Crown Agents. This expenditure is not included in the control total".
