    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member talks of all revenue from the Government. However, there are practices and the ones we are using are based on the best international practices. You do not include, for instance, charges which were already based on the Consolidated Fund in Acts of this Parliament which were earlier than the CDF Act. How do you then account for the monies which we give to the Local Authorities Transfer Fund (LATF), yet the law says it should be five per cent of the Income Tax? You cannot take the 2.5 per cent for CDF based on all the revenue. There must be exclusion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what the hon. Member is raising is a point of argument. Maybe it is his own understanding. Our understanding is what I am reading to him. This is the understanding of the Treasury."
