HC Deb 26 February 1997 vol 291 c278W
Lady Olga Maitland

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what changes are proposed to the cash limit for class III vote 2, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food for 1996–97. [18138]

Mr. Douglas Hogg

The cash limit for class III vote 2 for 1996–97 will be reduced by £20,000,000 from £912,586,000 to £892,586,000 to offset increased non-cash limit expenditure for class III vote 1—the Intervention Board executive agency. This reduction comes from a mixture of savings on BSE-related schemes in the current financial year.
