This money is drawn from the 'Administered Expenses – Outcome 2' budget line, which funds initiatives for 'Improved and more efficient government operations'.\n\n**Why it matters:** The Advance to the Finance Minister acts like a financial safety valve. It lets the government quickly move extra funds to agencies when urgent needs arise, without waiting for Parliament to pass a new spending bill. In this case, a senior Finance Department official approved the additional funding on 18 June 2003.\n\n**Who it affects:** Primarily the Department of Finance and Administration, which receives the additional appropriation to carry out its work."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-11-of-appropriation-act-no-1-2002-2003-no-16-of-2002-2003","history":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-11-of-appropriation-act-no-1-2002-2003-no-16-of-2002-2003/history","analysis":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-11-of-appropriation-act-no-1-2002-2003-no-16-of-2002-2003/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-11-of-appropriation-act-no-1-2002-2003-no-16-of-2002-2003/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-11-of-appropriation-act-no-1-2002-2003-no-16-of-2002-2003/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-11-of-appropriation-act-no-1-2002-2003-no-16-of-2002-2003/documents"}}
