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 and amounts earned on such funds, and also provides such funds shall be kept in the Trust Fund until forwarded to the entity or deducted under subsection (3).  Subsection (2) provides for the automatic appropriation of the Consolidated Revenue Fund for amounts to form part of the Trust Fund.  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 (3) 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 revenue or a class of revenue of an entity is to be received by the Executive Government on behalf of the entity, such monies to be held in the Trust Fund on trust for the entity.  The Parliament may also provide that for the entity 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.
