Illustration for Parliament Bill

You will not need extra approval to pay for some expenses. These expenses include salaries and allowances decided under section 70. They also include expenses decided by the Remuneration Authority under section 71 that are managed by certain groups. You can pay for these expenses without needing further approval. This also applies to annuities decided under section 72 and travel expenses decided under section 73. It applies to payments made according to Schedule 3, clause 8. These expenses can be paid because of this proposed law change. This change is part of a bill to update the law. It will allow you to pay these expenses without needing extra approval.
