EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES NO. 213 OF 1984
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 164 of the Military Financial Regulations provides for payment of Representation Allowance or Entertainment Allowance to members of the Army posted overseas, to reimburse such members expenses incurred in official entertainment.
Regulation 164 has been replaced by two tri-Service determinations, 3801, Representation Allowance and 3802, Entertainment Allowance made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903.
These Statutory Rules repeal regulation 164 with effect from the date Determinations 3801 and 3802 are made.
The Statutory Rules also make a minor consequential amendment to Military Financial Regulation 168 by omitting a reference to regulation 164.
