17Provision for incidental expenses

(1)Any expenses incurred in carrying this Part of this Act into effect (including sums paid on account of any cash bonus payable under this Part of this Act, or on account of any interest on the Loan which becomes payable in the financial year in which the redemption date falls instead of in the next following financial year) may, if the Treasury so direct, be defrayed out of the Consolidated Fund or the growing produce thereof, instead of being defrayed out of the permanent annual charge for the National Debt as part of the annual charges in respect of interest and management.

(2)For the purpose of providing for the issue of any sum directed to be defrayed out of the Consolidated Fund under this section, or for the repayment to that fund of all or any part of any sum so issued, the Treasury may raise money in any manner in which they are authorised to raise money under and for the purposes of subsection (1) of section one of the [9 & 10 Geo. 5. c. 37.] War Loan Act, 1919, and any securities created and issued to raise money under this subsection shall be deemed to have been created and issued under that subsection.
