This document makes that transfer official.\n\n**The details:**\n* The money being moved is \"non-lapsing appropriations\"—funding from previous years that hasn't expired and can still be spent\n* The transfer is authorised under *section 32 of the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997*, which gives the Finance Minister (or their delegate) power to shift funds between agencies when functions change\n* It takes effect on 14 July 2005\n\n**Who it affects:** Primarily the two defence agencies involved, ensuring the Defence Materiel Organisation has the budget to perform its newly acquired functions."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2005l02036","history":"/api/acts/f2005l02036/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2005l02036/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2005l02036/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2005l02036/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2005l02036/documents"}}
