8.  Subject to paragraphs 9 to 12, for the purposes of Part I of this Schedule the supplementary amount shall be calculated by applying the following formula—

where—

• L is in the case of appropriate authorities—

  (a)

  in England, £577,673;

  (b)

  in Wales, £26,581;

  (c)

  in Scotland, £62,298;

• M—

  (a)

  except where paragraph (b) below applies, in the case of an authority listed in column (1) of Schedule 7 is the aggregate of the amounts obtained by multiplying each figure prescribed in column (3)(a) to (b) of that Schedule for that authority by the figure appropriate to that category and authority prescribed in column (3)(a) or (b), as the case may be, of Schedule 8,

  (b)

  in the case of an authority listed in column (1) of Schedule 9, is the aggregate amount determined in accordance with paragraph (a) above further multiplied by the figure specified for that authority in column (2) of Schedule 9; and

• N is the total of the amounts for all appropriate authorities in the category to which the particular appropriate authority belongs specified in sub-paragraph (a), (b) or (c), as the case may be, of the definition of L.

9.  Where the supplementary amount for an appropriate authority as calculated in accordance with paragraph 8 is less than £250 for that authority it shall be £250.

10.  Where the total of the supplementary amounts calculated in accordance with paragraphs 8 and 9 exceeds—

(a) in the case of appropriate authorities—

(i) in England, £577,673;

(ii) in Wales, £26,581;

(iii) in Scotland, £62,298;

the supplementary amount for an appropriate authority to which paragraph 9 does not apply shall be further calculated, subject to paragraph 11, by applying the following formula—

where—

• O is the supplementary amount calculated under paragraph 8;

• P is the amount which remains after deducting the aggregate of the amounts for appropriate authorities to which paragraph 9 applies from the total of supplementary amounts as specified in sub-paragraphs (a), (b) and (c), as the case may be, of the definition of L in paragraph 8; and

• Q is the aggregate of all the supplementary amounts calculated under paragraph 8 for all the appropriate authorities except those appropriate authorities to which paragraph 9 applies.

11.  Where the supplementary amount for an appropriate authority as further calculated in accordance with paragraph 10 is less than £250 for that authority it shall be £250.

12.  Until such time as the aggregate of the authorities' supplementary amounts calculated under paragraphs 9, 10 and 11 equals the aggregate of the amounts specified in sub-paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of the definition of L in paragraph 8, the calculations set out in paragraphs 10 and 11 shall, subject to the modifications set out below, continue to apply to calculate the supplementary amount for those appropriate authorities to which neither paragraph 9 nor 11 has applied; and for that purpose—

(a) O shall apply as if the supplementary amount were the amount calculated under paragraph 10 or, if by virtue of this paragraph there has been more than one calculation, the last amount calculated under that paragraph in respect of that appropriate authority;

(b) P shall apply as if the amount to be deducted to determine the balance of the total amount available were the aggregate of the supplementary amounts for appropriate authorities to which, in the calculation under paragraphs 10 and 11 or, if there has been more than one calculation under those paragraphs, the last such calculation, paragraph 11 applied; and

(c) Q shall apply as if the total of the supplementary amounts were the total of all the supplementary amounts calculated under paragraph 10 or, if by virtue of this paragraph there has been more than one calculation, the last calculated under that paragraph in respect of all appropriate authorities to which paragraph 11 did not apply in that calculation.
