Statutory Instruments
HOUSING, SCOTLAND
Made
23rd February 1995
Coming into force
23rd February 1995
The Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred on him by section 193(4) and (5) of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987(1) and of all other powers enabling him in that behalf-
after consultation with such associations of local authorities as appear to him to be concerned;
since it appears to him that after the time when the aggregate amount mentioned in section 191(2)(a) of that Act was estimated for the year 1994-95 the eligible expenditure of local authorities for that year has been substantially decreased by means of changes which have taken place in the level of the matters specified in section 191(3)(b) of that Act, and that inadequate account was taken of those changes when that aggregate amount was estimated; and
with the consent of the Treasury,
hereby makes the following Order, a draft of which has been approved by the House of Commons:
1. This Order may be cited as the Housing Support Grant (Scotland) Variation Order 1995 and shall come into force forthwith.
2. In the Housing Support Grant (Scotland) Order 1994(2)-
(a)in article 2 (aggregate amount of housing support grants for 1994-95) for "£25,685,644" there shall be substituted "£24,172,768";
(b)in article 3(2) (general portion) for "£23,619,305" there shall be substituted "£22,117,030"; and
(c)in article 3(3) (hostel portion) for "£2,066,339" there shall be substituted "£2,055,738".
