I move:—
That a supplementary sum not exceeding £30,000 be granted to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending 31st March, 1948, for the increase of the Grant to Local Authorities in Relief of Rates on Agricultural Land (No. 35 of 1925; No. 28 of 1931; No. 23 of 1939, and No. 36 of 1946).
Expenditure on the employment allowance portion of the Agricultural Grant has turned out to be substantially higher than was anticipated when the Estimate was prepared.
