SUPPLY (through Fr. from Lat. supplere, to fill up)

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 113 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
SUPPLY (through Fr. from Lat. supplere, to fill up) , pro-vision; more particularly the money granted by a legislature to carry on the
work
  of government. In the United Kingdom the granting of
supply
  is the exclusive right of the
House
  of Commons, and is carried out by two committees of the
House
 , one of
supply
  and the other of ways and means (see
PARLIAMENT
 ). In the United States supply originates in the House of Representatives (see UNITED STATES: Appropriation).
In
Scotland
  commissioners of supply were
officers
  appointed to assess and collect the
land
  tax offered as supply to the sovereign. Under the Lands Valuation (
Scotland
 ) Act 1854 all owners of property of a certain value were qualified as commissioners of supply. Their duties were also enlarged to comprise the general administration of the country, but by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889 all their
powers
  and duties were transferred to and vested in the county council. They still meet annually, but transact only formal business.
