SUPPLEMENTARY APPROPRIATION (TE MAUTARI LTD.
SPECIAL GRANT) ACT 1986

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Act charges upon the Consolidated Fund the sum of Eight hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000.00) to be applied as a special grant to Te Mautari Ltd. for urgently needed working capital.

Te Mautari Ltd. is a wholly owned Government company which was fully funded by aid.  It has now become necessary to provide the company with working capital of sufficient size to enable long term decisions to be taken to save the company from total collapse.

No provision was made in the Appropriation Act of 1985 for the issue of such sum of money from the Consolidated Fund.

This Act is therefore being presented to the Maneaba ni Maungatabu in accordance with the requirements of section 109(3) of the Constitution for the appropriation of the sum of Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000.00) from the Consolidated Fund.
