That a supplementary sum not exceeding £200,000 be granted to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1953, 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; No. 36 of 1946; etc.).
This Supplementary Estimate arises from the fact that, when the original Estimate is being prepared, it is notpossible to foresee under the arrangements governing the distribution of payment of the grant what the exact sum required is to be until toward the end of the year.
