EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1983 NO 85
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 202 of the Military Financial Regulations provides for the payment of an allowance to Army chaplains of the Reserve Forces for the purchase and maintenance of ecclesiastical equipment and vestments.
These Statutory Rules repeal regulation 202, which has been replaced by Determination 0699, Chaplain’s (Reserves) Equipment Allowance, made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903.
The date of effect is the date Determination 0699 is made.
