Payments to Cattle Pleuro-Pneumonia Account.

1 (1) If in any financial year the money standing to the credit of the Cattle Pleuro-Pneumonia Account of Great Britain is insufficient to defray the costs and expenses of the Diseases of Animals Acts, 1874 to 1927, made payable out of that account, an amount equal to the deficiency shall be paid out of moneys provided by Parliament and carried to that account; and accordingly so much of section eighteen of the Diseases of Animals Act, 1894, as limits the amount payable into that account out of moneys provided by Parliament and the proviso to subsection (1) of that section shall cease to have effect.

(2) The Treasury may at any time within any financial year temporarily advance to the said account out of the Consolidated Fund or the growing produce thereof such sums as may from time to time be required for the purpose of mailing any payments properly falling to be made out of that account, but any sums so advanced shall be repaid out of moneys provided by Parliament before the end of the said year.
