HC Deb 27 January 2000 vol 343 cc266-7W
Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if departments will be allowed to exceed their expenditure limits in 2000–01 and 2001–02 if they receive budgetary transfers from other departments that have spent below their departmental expenditure limits. [106776]
