Paragraph 14

If for any accounting year there is an excess of revenue of the Board over the total sums properly chargeable by the Board to revenue account, the excess shall be applied by the Board in such manner as the Minister, with the approval of the Treasury and after consultation with the Board, may direct.

If it appears to the Minister, after consultation with the Board, that the whole or a part of any such excess is surplus to the requirements of the Board, he may under this paragraph, with the approval of the Treasury, direct the Board to pay the whole or, as the case may be, that part of that excess into the Consolidated Fund.

The account required to be prepared by the Minister in respect of any financial year under section 20(7) in its application to the Board shall include particulars of any sums required to be paid into the Consolidated Fund under this paragraph during that year.
