"6A. An additional Crown asset of £26,896,773.96, being money provided by Parliament to the Central Office of Information in respect of accruals and deferred income attributable to the funded operations as at 1 April 1991 but not appropriated to the fund at that date, and an additional Crown liability of accruals and deferred income to the value of £26,896,773.96, being accruals and deferred income attributable to the funded operations as at 1 April 1991 but not appropriated to the fund at that date, shall be respectively appropriated as an asset and a liability of the fund." ;
