5.2 Delegation of Minister's appropriation expenditure functions may limit amount and purposes of expenditure

(1) This section applies in relation to a delegable function of a Minister (an
"appropriation expenditure function" ) regarding the expenditure of money out of the Consolidated Fund under the authority of an appropriation provided by an annual Appropriation Act, this Act or any other Act.

(2) A Minister who delegates an appropriation expenditure function under Division 9.2 may impose terms and conditions on the delegation and also on any subdelegation so as to limit the amounts and purposes for which expenditures of money are permitted under the delegation or a subdelegation.

(3) The Minister must ensure that the terms and conditions imposed are not inconsistent with the purposes for which the appropriation was given.

(4) To avoid doubt, the delegate or subdelegate is authorised to make expenditures of money, but only in accordance with the terms and conditions (if any) that the Minister has imposed.

(5) This section does not limit any other kinds of terms or conditions that can be imposed on the delegation or subdelegation of appropriation expenditure functions under Division 9.2 (including under section 49 of the Interpretation Act 1987 in its application to delegations or subdelegations under Division 9.2).
