Provided that—

  1. (i) no grants shall be made towards expenditure incurred in connection with any such improvement or construction unless the plans and sections therefor have been approved by the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries and the Minister is satisfied that the work thereon has been properly carried out; and
  2. (ii) all such grants and advances shall be made subject to such conditions as may, with the approval of the Treasury, be prescribed by regulations made by the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries." Resolution agreed to.
