On a point of Order, Major Milner. I take it that you do not propose to call the Amendment in my name, in page 2, line 27, at the end, to add: (4) Of the foregoing yearly sum, or combined yearly sum, the sum of five thousand pounds shall be deemed to be private and personal expenditure, and the remaining sum or as much of that sum as is for the purpose required, together, during the lifetime of Her Royal Highness the Princess Elizabeth, with the sum of thirty-five thousand pounds similarly designated in Subsection (3) of Section one of this Act, shall be utilised in defrayment of expenditure necessary in connection with the Royal obligations and functions of Her Royal Highness the Princess Elizabeth and His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, and so certified by the Treasurer of the Household.
