The Minister shall establish and maintain a fund to be known as the Salmon Conservancy Fund. The Minister may from time to time, after consultation with the Minister for Finance, prescribe the rate of levy to be paid on salmon for export and the manner, of payment. The Minister may from time to time, after consultation with the Minister for Finance, by order provide that in addition to the licence duty on single salmon rod licences there shall be paid to the appropriate Board of Conservators. Each Board of Conservators and every other person collecting levy under this Act shall, as soon as may be, pay to the Minister for the credit of the Fund all sums so collected. The Minister may pay out of the Fund such, sums as he thinks proper to supplement the income of any Board of Conservators whose income in any year appears to him to be insufficient to defray the expenses of the Board in the performance of its functions.
