The money is drawn from the Consolidated Revenue Fund (Australia's central government bank account containing tax revenue).\n\n**Why it exists**\nPassed in 1948, this was a post-World War II economic assistance measure. The United Kingdom was facing severe financial strain after the war, and this grant represented Australia's financial support to the UK during its recovery.\n\n**How it works**\n- The Act creates legal authority to spend exactly £10 million as a non-repayable gift to the UK\n- The legislation is brief and unconditional—simply directing the Treasury to make the payment\n- No definitions, exceptions, or ongoing regulatory framework are included"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/united-kingdom-grant-act-1948","history":"/api/acts/united-kingdom-grant-act-1948/history","analysis":"/api/acts/united-kingdom-grant-act-1948/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/united-kingdom-grant-act-1948/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/united-kingdom-grant-act-1948/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/united-kingdom-grant-act-1948/documents"}}
