(b) that specified amounts that are, in the aggregate, equal to that amount are to be respectively taken, for the purposes of this section, to have been debited from the Account in relation to specified Land Councils.
(4) If, in consequence of a direction by the Minister under subsection (1) that an amount be debited from the Account, an additional amount is also debited from the Account in accordance with subsection (2), the Minister must, by written instrument, direct, in relation to that additional amount:
(a) that the additional amount is to be taken, for the purposes of this section, to have been debited from the Account in relation to a specified Land Council; or
(b) that specified amounts that are, in the aggregate, equal to the additional amount are to be respectively taken for the purposes of this section, to have been debited from the Account in relation to specified Land Councils.
