EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO. 331
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE
AMENDMENT OF THE MILITARY FINANCIAL REGULATIONS
Section 12 of the Defence Amendment Act 1979 allows the Minister to make interim determinations amending or repealing regulations. The Act also deems such interim determinations to be Statutory Rules.
Regulation 26 of the Military Financial Regulations provides for payment of an allowance in respect of the dependants of a member of the Army who is under arrest or undergoing imprisonment or detention.
These Statutory Rules repeal regulation 26, which has been replaced by Determination 0806, Detained Member’s Dependant Allowance, made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903, and make consequential amendments to regulation 266.
The date of effect is the date Determination 0806 is made.
