(2) Where no such agreement as is referred to in sub-section (1) can be reached, the matter may be referred to the Government, and the Government may, after giving to the local authority or the Authority or both, a reasonable opportunity of being heard, decide the amount of such contribution. The decision of the Government shall be binding on both parties.
