EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 No. 178
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.
Naval Financial Regulation 122A provides for the payment of Chaplains’ Equipment Allowance to cover the purchase and maintenance of ecclesiastical equipment and clothing.
These items are to be provided through the Service supply system from 1 September 1984 and, therefore, Chaplains’ Equipment Allowance will no longer be payable.
These Statutory Rules amend Regulation 122A to cease its effect on and after 1 September 1984.
