SUPPLY (NO. 2) BILL 1977
OBJECTS AND REASONS
As the Appropriation Bill 1977 has not been enacted it is Government's intention to call a General Election. The Supply Act 1977 expires on 1st October.
There will not be any authority thereafter to expend moneys for the services of the Republic. It is necessary to provide statutory authority for such expenditure until such time as Parliament, after such General Election, has had opportunity to enact an Appropriation Bill for 1977-78. The Supreme Court opinion in Constitutional Reference No. 3/1977 makes it clear that a Supply Bill can properly be enacted in such circumstances.
This Bill does not include expenditure provided for by the Supply Act 1977, but makes separate and entirely fresh provision for expenditure from 1st October 1977 to 31st December 1977.
The amounts authorised by the Supply Act, and this Bill, if enacted, will be included, and must be, in the Appropriation Act when enacted. It does not provide for any new services of the Republic.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the attached document is a fair print of an Act entitled the Supply Act (No. 2) 1977 that has been made by Parliament and is now presented to-the Speaker for his Certificate under Article 47 of the Constitution	Pursuant to Article 47 of the Constitution, I DAVID PETER GADARAOA, Speaker of Parliament, HEREBY CERTIFY that the Supply Act (No. 2) 1977 a copy of which is attached has been passed by Parliament.
