EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1983 NO. 86
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE
AMENDMENT OF THE NAVAL FINANCIAL REGULATIONS
Section 12 of the Defence 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 288 of the Naval Financial Regulations provides for the payment of an allowance to Navy chaplains of the Reserve Forces for the purchase and maintenance of ecclesiastical vestments and equipment.
These Statutory Rules repeal regulation 288, which has been replaced by Determination 0699, Chaplain’s (Reserves) Equipment Allowance, made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903.
As a consequence, Naval Financial Regulation 289 is no longer required and has been repealed.
The date of effect is the date Determination 0699 is made.
