2 Application

This Part relates to the period commencing on 1 April 1989 and ending with 30 June 1989 (hereinafter referred to in this Part as the transitional quarter).

3 Unauthorised expenditure

(1)

Where, during the transitional quarter, it is desirable that public money should be expended in excess of or without the appropriation of Parliament, the Minister of Finance may approve the expenditure out of the Public Account, or any account outside the Public Account, of such sum or sums as the Minister of Finance considers necessary.

(2)

The Treasury shall advise the Audit Office of all expenditure approved under this section, whereupon, notwithstanding section 53(1) of the Public Finance Act 1977, the money may be issued and applied accordingly.

(3)

Notwithstanding subsection (1) or subsection (2), the total of all sums issued and applied under this section in the transitional quarter shall not exceed a sum equal to 21/2% of all sums issued and applied under section 2 of the Imprest Supply Act 1989.

(4)

All sums issued and applied under this section shall be charged as unauthorised expenditure to such accounts or funds as the Minister of Finance directs.

the public accounts for the transitional quarter; and

an Appropriation Bill for both the transitional quarter and the financial year beginning on 1 July 1989 for sanction by Parliament.

(1)

The Treasury shall, as soon as practicable after the end of the transitional quarter but not later than 31 August 1989, prepare and forward to the Audit Office a statement of the public accounts for the transitional quarter.

(2)

The statement of the public accounts for the transitional quarter shall contain—

(a)

a statement of the receipts and payments of the accounts and funds comprising the Public Account for the transitional quarter; and

(b)

a statement showing the expenditure relating to each vote as set out in the estimates of expenditure for the transitional quarter, and the amount (if any) under-expended or over-expended in each case; and

(c)

a statement showing the amounts outstanding (including accretions from investments by way of bonus shares or capitalised interest) of any money paid out of the Public Account by way of advances or loans to, or for the purchase of shares or the provision of fixed capital in, any company or government agency; and

(d)

a statement of the public debt, together with a statement of all guarantees, indemnities, and securities given by the Minister of Finance on behalf of the Crown that remain contingent liabilities at the end of the transitional quarter; and

(e)

such other information and statements as would be required, by sections 46, 56, and 86 and any other provision of the Public Finance Act 1977 or any other provision of any other Act, to be included in the statement of the public accounts for the transitional quarter if that statement were a statement of the public accounts for a financial year.

(3)

The statement specified in subsection (2)(a) shall include all payments made, and money received, by imprestees that can be incorporated in the books of the Treasury for the transitional quarter. Imprests that are unaccounted for at the end of the transitional quarter shall be shown as imprests outstanding.

(b)

return the statement to the Treasury.

(2)
