§ Mr. GogginsTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what proposals he has to amend his Department's expenditure limit and running costs limit for 2000–01. [126157]
§ Mr. RookerSubject to Parliamentary approval of the necessary Revised Estimate for Class XII Vote 3 (Department of Social Security: administration) the Department of Social Security's Departmental Expenditure Limit will be reduced by £16,869,000 from £3,207,614,000 601W to £3,190,745,000. The reduction is the net effect of the continuing consequences of the transfer of the Department of Social Security Contributions Agency and Working Family Tax Credit Unit to Inland Revenue. There will be a corresponding increase on Class XVI, Vote 5, Inland Revenue: administration.
As a result of this change the running cost limit of this department will be reduced by £16,869,000 from £2,958,599,000 to £2,941,730,000.
