§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give a breakdown of the figure of £3,108 million for non-identified miscellaneous expenditure set out in table 7.7 of the Public Expenditure Statistical Analysis 1996–97, Cm 3201. [20819]
§ Mr. WaldegraveThe figures requested are given in the following table:
Miscellaneous non-identified expenditure from PESA 1996–97, Cm 3201 £ million Economic and financial administration (including Bank of England) 3,139 Net Contributions to the European Community 1,267 Parliament and Privy Council 267 Other central services 162 Allowance for shortfall -460 Total 5,151 This total differs from that published in Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses 1996–97 Cm 3201 as the net UK contribution to the EC was erroneously split between overseas services and miscellaneous expenditure.
