1990 No. 195 (S.22)
The Housing Support Grant (Scotland) Variation Order 1990
Made
Coming into force
The Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred on him by sections 191, 192 and 193 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 19871, and of all other powers enabling him in that behalf, since it appears to him that after the time when the aggregate amount mentioned in section 191(2)(a) of the said Act was estimated for 1989-90 the eligible expenditure of local authorities for that year has been substantially increased by reason of changes which have taken place in the level of the matters specified in section 191(3)(b) of the said Act, and that inadequate account was taken of those changes when the amount mentioned as aforesaid was estimated, and after such consultation with such associations of local authorities as appear to him to be concerned as is required by the said sections 191, 192 and 193, and with the consent of the Treasury, hereby makes the following Order, a draft of which has been approved by the House of Commons:
