AMENDMENT OF THE NAVAL FINANCIAL REGULATION
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 149 of the Naval Financial Regulations covers, inter alia, the provision of certain courses of study and training at the expense of the Commonwealth.
These Statutory Rules omit sub-regulations 149(1), (2) and (3) to remove those provisions which are regarded as management expenses for which appropriation is made by the Parliament; and make a consequential amendment to sub-regulation 149(4).
The date of effect is the date of notification in the Gazette.
