Relevant notes from the explanatory memorandum

215. Subsection (1) provides that when funds for an entity formed under the internal law are received by the Executive Government, such funds shall be kept in the Trust Fund until forwarded to the entity.  An example of the receipt of funds by the Executive Government could include a payment gateway operated by Government.  The Parliament may prescribe procedures and restrictions on an application by an entity to have its money transferred or applied; such procedures could include having the application being heard in a tribunal.

216. Subsection (2) also provides for the deduction from the Trust Fund of fees and charges, debts to the Executive Government and judgement debts.  This provision clarifies the authority to discharge debts of entities from amounts received in the Trust Funds.

217. This section provides the Parliament with the ability to enact financial control measures.  For example, could be possible for the Parliament to provide that monies of an association or a class of association are to be deposited in an account held by the Executive Government, in turn to being held in the Trust Fund.  The law may furthermore provide that for the committee of management to access the funds it must apply to a tribunal and provide reasons for the application.  The intention of this section is to ensure the proper application of charity resources by giving the Parliament the power to exert financial control.
