In short
This law amends a previous act concerning agriculture, specifically changing how county councils contribute financially to agriculture committees. It updates the minimum and maximum amounts of these contributions.
What it regulates
- The financial contributions made by county councils to agriculture committees.
- The calculation method for these contributions based on local financial years and rates.
- The validity of actions taken by county councils before April 1, 1972, regarding rate-making.
Who it concerns
- County councils.
- Committees of agriculture for counties.
Key points
- County councils must contribute to agriculture committees starting from the local financial year beginning April 1, 1972, and every subsequent year.
- The contribution must be at least the produce of a rate of one new penny in the pound in the county area (excluding urban districts).
- The contribution cannot be more than fifteen times such produce.
- Actions taken by county councils before April 1, 1972, for rates for that financial year are valid as if this Act was in force.
