Part 2: Subsidy control requirements Chapter 1: Principles Section 12: Application of the subsidy control principles
Subsection (1) of this section establishes a duty for public authorities to consider the subsidy control principles set out in Schedule 1 before deciding whether to grant a standalone subsidy (i.e. a subsidy not granted under a subsidy scheme). It also requires the public authority not to grant the subsidy unless they are of the view that it is consistent with the principles contained in Schedule 1.
	Subsection (2) of this section explains that a public authority giving a subsidy under a subsidy scheme is not subject to the subsection (1) duty.
	Similarly, subsection (3) of this section places an obligation on public authorities, before making a subsidy scheme, to consider the principles in Schedule 1. It also requires public authorities not to make the scheme unless they are of the view that the subsidies provided for by the scheme will be consistent with the principles contained in Schedule 1.
