Defence Force (Salaries) Regulations (Repeal)
The Defence Force (Salaries) Regulations (the Principal Regulations), made under the Defence Act 1903, Naval Defence Act 1910 and Air Force Act 1923, had the primary purpose of providing for salaries for members of the Defence Force. Most of the provisions formerly contained in the Principal Regulations had been repealed progressively as they were replaced by other legislation of tri-service application, particularly determinations made under Part IIIA of the Defence Act.
The Principal Regulations comprised only definitions of various terms which were used in the Military Financial Regulations, made under the Defence Act, the Naval Financial Regulations, made under the Naval Defence Act, and the corresponding provisions in the Air Force Regulations, made under the Air Force Act. As those provisions are now repealed, the definitions in the Principal Regulations are obsolete.
The Statutory Rule repeals the Principal Regulations.
The Statutory Rule comes into operation on 1 December 1996.
