HC Deb 06 February 1996 vol 271 c144W
Mr. Congdon

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what changes will be made to the cash or running costs limits to the Office of Fair Trading. [14217]

Mr. Lang

Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary supplementary estimate, the cash limit for class IV, vote 8 will be increased by £345,000 from £19,450,000 to £19,795,000. The increase, which is required to meet additional costs of litigation, will be charged to the reserve and will not therefore add to the planned total of public expenditure.
