An Act to enable the Minister of Finance to authorise the

[22ND DECEMBER 1964]

1. This Act may be cited as the Expenditure in Advance of

2. In this Act, “Appropriation Act” means any written law
providing for the issue from the Consolidated Fund of the sums
necessary to meet expenditure to carry on the services of the
Government during a financial year.

3. Where an Appropriation Act has not come into operation
before the commencement of a financial year, the Minister may,
for the purpose of meeting expenditure necessary to carry on the
services of the Government until the expiration of thirty days from
the beginning of the new financial year or the coming into operation
of the Appropriation Act for the ensuing financial year, whichever
is the earlier date, authorise by warrant the withdrawal of moneys
in an amount not exceeding ten per cent of the total expenditure
authorised by the Appropriation Act for the last past financial year.

4. All moneys withdrawn in pursuance of warrants issued
under this Act shall be deemed to have been withdrawn in
