§ Mr. Nigel EvansTo ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what changes she proposes to make to her Department's cash limits and running costs limits for 1996–97. [31794]
§ Mrs. Virginia BottomleySubject to parliamentary approval of the necessary supplementary estimates, the cash limit for class X, vote 1 will be increased by £17,519,000 from £931,241,000 to £948,760,000. The increase will be to transfer responsibility for the voluntary services from the Home Office to the Department of National Heritage, and for a building from the Department of Trade and Industry to the British library and will not therefore add to the planned total of public expenditure.
