EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO. 359
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE
AMENDMENT OF THE NAVAL 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 177 of the Naval Financial Regulations provides for the payment of an allowance to members who proceed overseas on short term duty and need to purchase travelling equipment or additional clothing to suit the extreme climatic conditions they expect to encounter.
These Statutory Rules repeal regulation 177 as the regulation has been replaced by Determination 3602, Overseas Outfit Allowance, a determination made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903.
The date of effect is the date on which Determination 3602 is made.
