116.—(1) The heads of expenditure contained in the estimates, other than expenditure charged on the Consolidated Fund by this Constitution or any Ordinance, shall be included in a bill, to be known as an Appropriation Bill, which shall be introduced into the House of Assembly to provide for the issue from the Consolidated Fund of the sums necessary to meet that expenditure and the appropriation of those sums for the purposes specified in the bill.
(2) If in respect of any financial year it is found that the amount appropriated for any purpose under the Appropriation Ordinance is insufficient or that a need has arisen for expenditure for a purpose for which no amount has been appropriated by that Ordinance, a supplementary estimate showing the sums required shall be laid before the House of Assembly by the Minister of Finance, and the Appropriations Committee shall scrutinise that estimate and make recommendations in relation to it to the House.
(3) The heads of expenditure contained in a supplementary estimate shall be included in a bill, to be known as a Supplementary Appropriation Bill, which shall be introduced into the House of Assembly to provide for the issue from the Consolidated Fund of the sums necessary to meet that expenditure and the appropriation of those sums for the purposes specified in the bill.
(4) The Governor, acting in his or her discretion and with the prior approval of a Secretary of State, may refuse to assent to any Appropriation Bill or Supplementary Appropriation Bill if in his or her judgement the enactment of that bill would be inconsistent with section 109 or the Statement of Governance Principles for the time being in effect.
