CLAUSE 54.—(Method of apportionment between authorities of expenditure and grants for purposes of the Fifth and Sixth Schedules.)

HC Deb 22 February 1929 vol 225 c1506 1506

§ The LORD ADVOCATE
I beg to move, in page 47, line 27, to leave out the word "unreduced," and to insert instead thereof the word "reduced."

§ Mr. JOHNSTON
Will the Lord Advocate explain what this Amendment means?

§ The LORD ADVOCATE
It provides for the apportionment being made on the reduced basis, and applying the same basis to the apportionment. It was a slip in the original drafting. Obviously since the basis on which they are to be apportioned in the future will be the reduced value, it ought to be the basis of allocation between the different areas.

§ Amendment agreed to.
