asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what changes he intends to make to the cash limit relating to votes VIII 6 and XIV 1.

As the Property Services Agency took over accommodation services for museums and galleries from another part of my Department on 1 October 1979, £5·8 million is being transferred from the cash limit for Vote VIII 6 to the cash limit for Vote XIV 1, to give a revised total cash limit of £385·8 million. A winter Supplementary Estimate will be presented to Parliament shortly including this additional expenditure on Vote XIV 1; the outturn on Vote VIII 6 will be reduced by an equivalent amount.
