The amount of those costs during any period shall be taken to be an amount equal to the difference between—
a
the reduction in financial burden of the Board; and
b
the reduction in revenue of the Board;
if the Board were not to secure the provision of those services during that period.

Grants under this section require the approval of the Treasury and may be made subject to such conditions as the Secretary of State may, with the approval of the Treasury, think fit.
