Subsection (3)
121.This ensures that any order made under subsection (2) may only specify those bodies or office-holders that the Scottish Ministers reasonably believe have either obtained more than a quarter of their income from public funds in any one financial year, or have received more than £500,000 from public funds in the financial year. If the Scottish Ministers are to specify a class of body or office-holder, the Scottish Ministers must reasonably believe that at least half of the bodies or office-holders in that class, in any one financial year, have obtained more than a quarter of their income or have received more that £500,000 from public funds.
