What the document says

The section amends the fourth proviso to replace the figure 455,000 with 555,000.
What the document actually says
“in the fourth proviso, by striking ``455,000'' and inserting ``555,000'';”
That sentence, in plain words
One number comes out. A bigger number goes in. It rises from 455,000 to 555,000.
What this is about
The figure is a ceiling on how many homes the program can cover. Raising it lets more homes join. Nothing else about the figure changes.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
