AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

POLICE ORDINANCE, 1950

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

No. 8 of 1950

	The administration of the Police Force of the Australian Capital Territory has for many years been under the control of the Attorney-General’s Department.  It has now been transferred to the Department of the Interior and it is necessary to make a number of amendments of a machinery character to the Ordinance to provide for this change of control.

	The opportunity has been taken to revise the provisions in the Police Ordinance in relation to the Police Arbitral Tribunal, including certain essential provisions in such Ordinance that were previously included in the Industrial Board Ordinance, which in that Ordinance are no longer in force or effect.
