HC Deb 14 August 1913 vol 56 cc2783-4

  1. (1) As from the fifteenth day of May in the year nineteen hundred and fourteen the expenses declared by this Act to be chargeable to the assessment authorised under the Lunacy Acts and this Act shall be ascertained and apportioned within the lunacy district upon the landward parts of counties and upon burghs, respectively, as provided in the Act of 1857, as amended by any subsequent Act, and shall be assessed, levied, and collected as provided in the said Acts.
  2. (2) This Section shall apply to the case where the district board of control is the parish council, with the substitution of the parish for the landward parts of counties and for burghs, and with any other necessary variations; provided that the assessment levied by a parish council acting as a district board shall be separately set forth and demanded in the demand note, and shall be levied upon the like valuation in all respects and subject to the like deductions and exemptions as the assessment hitherto leviable within the parish under the Lunacy Acts by the town or county council, but shall be collected along with the poor rate, and with the same remedies and modes of recovery; and provided also that the consent of the Board shall be required to any assessment levied by the parish council acting as a district board; and provided further that moneys levied and collected by a parish council acting as district board shall be kept separate and distinct from moneys levied and collected by the parish council for other pur- 2784 poses; and for purposes of audit the accounts of the parish council shall be deemed to include the accounts of such moneys and of the expenditure thereof.
