hypothecation in UK

admin — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 04:48:44 +0000

The government plans to ‘hypothecate’ any fuel tax increases into public
transport. Can anybody provide me with a dictionary definition of
"hypothecate"? I know what it means, but wish to define it precisely and my
dictionary is out of date. I need the definition for a news article I’m
writing for a business environment club, so a speedy reply would be mush
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Richard
