Mr. Faulds
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will specify when and how parliamentary sanction was obtained to incur direct public expenditure for the surrendered balances of £1,695,000 in 1980–81, £62,000 in 1981–82 and £1,185,000 in 1983–84 on Votes under the equivalents of the current sub-heads Class V, Vote 10, Subhead C2 and Class VIII, Vote 4, Sub-head B5, by means of identical sums being credited to the non-surrenderable grants-in-aid which had been the subject of a Vote under the then equivalents of subheads C1 and B4; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Peter Rees
I shall let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
