HC Deb 02 February 1996 vol 270 c958W
Mr. Hawkins

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what changes she proposes to make to her Department's running costs and cash limits for 1995–96. [13763]

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary supplementary estimates, the cash limit for class XI, vote 1 will be increased by £4,570,000 from £1,017,049,000 to £1,021,619,000. This is to increase provision for assets accepted in lieu of tax and to increase the gross running costs limit for the Department by £1,900,000 from £26,975,000 to £28,875,000. The increases will be charged to the reserve and will not therefore add to the planned total of public expenditure.
