HC Deb 13 February 1996 vol 271 cc483-4W
Mr. Congdon

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what proposals he has to change the 1995–96 cash limit for the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner and health service commissioners. [15285]

Mr. Freeman

Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary supplementary estimate, the cash limit for the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner and health service commissioners—class XIX vote 4—will be increased by £702,000 from £9,000,000 to £9,702,000.

The increase is in response to growth in the work load of the office and to prepare for the work which will be generated by the Health Service Commissioners (Amendment) Bill, which was debated in another place last night.
