Cabinet Office (Spring Supplementary Estimate)

HC Deb 12 December 2002 vol 396 c486W

Matthew Taylor

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister if he will make a statement on the uses of the additions to net provisions for the Cabinet Office under the RfR1— heading in the Cabinet Office Spring Supplementary Estimate, February 2002 (Cm 5354); and if he will make a statement. [86280]

Mr. Alexander

I have been asked to reply.

The change in net provision in RfR1-A arises from a number of transactions including: machinery of government transfers between Cabinet Office and the Home Office, the Department for Education and Skills and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport; other transfers between Cabinet Office and other Departments, for example, for fast steam recruitment; the draw down of resource from the DEL reserve; and intra-departmental adjustments. Details of the uses of the additions to sub head Al are shown in the introduction to the Spring Supplementary Estimate.
