You can spend money on certain things without needing extra approval. These things include salaries and allowances decided under section 71, and expenses decided by the Remuneration Authority under section 72. You can also spend money on annuities decided under section 73, travel expenses decided under section 74, and payments made according to clause 8 of Schedule 3.

The Remuneration Authority decides some of these expenses, which are administered by the Parliamentary Service and the department responsible for Ministerial Services.
