The Scotland Act 1998 (Transitory and Transitional Provisions) (Finance) Order 1999

Transfer of appropriations and appropriations in aid

13.—(1) Paragraph (2) of this article applies where any function of the Secretary of State has, by virtue of any provision made by or under the 1998 Act, become exercisable instead by the Scottish Ministers or by the Parliamentary corporation and there is then in force an Order in Council under section 129(1) appropriating sums forming part of the Fund for the purpose of meeting expenditure of the Secretary of State in connection with that function, or appropriating sums in aid of sums so appropriated.

(2) The Order in Council shall have effect in relation to any such function from the date when it becomes exercisable by the Scottish Ministers or, as the case may be, the Parliamentary corporation, as if the sums, so far as not then applied by the Secretary of State, were appropriated or appropriated in aid for the purpose of meeting expenditure of the Scottish Ministers or, as the case may be, the Parliamentary corporation in connection with that function.
