EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1982 NO. 362
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE
NAVAL FINANCIAL REGULATIONS
Section 12 of the Defence Amendment Act 1979 provides that the Minister may make interim determinations amending or repealing regulations. The Act also deems such interim determinations to be Statutory Rules.
Regulation 280 of the Naval Financial Regulations provides for payment of a locum tenens allowance to certain members of the Naval Reserve who are required to pay for a locum tenens for their private practices while they are absent on reserve training commitments.
The regulation has been replaced by Determination 0197, Locum Tenens Allowance, a tri-Service determination made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903.
These Statutory Rules repeal regulation 280 with effect from the day on which Determination 0197, Locum Tenens Allowance, is made.
