AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

SEAT OF GOVERNMENT (ADMINISTRATION) ORDINANCE, 1950

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

No. 10 of 1950

		The Seat of Government (Administration) Ordinance contains provision for the allocation for the purpose of administration of the Ordinances in force in the Australian Capital Territory amongst the respective departments that are concerned.

		The administration of the Police Force of the Territory has been transferred from the Attorney-General’s Department to the Department of the Interior, and it is necessary to amend the Seat of Government (Administration) Ordinance to prescribe that the Police Ordinance and the Police Superannuation Ordinance are administered by the Minister for the Interior instead of by the Attorney-General.  This is purely a machinery amendment.
