(1) There may be issued temporarily out of the Public Account any money
required to provide-

   (a)  advances to authorities not exceeding at any time an amount estimated
        by the Minister to be sufficient to meet one month's expenses, but no
        such advances may be made unless Parliamentary sanction has been
        obtained (whether under this or any other Act) for the incurring of
        those expenses;

   (b)  special advances to authorities of specific amounts for specific
        purposes pending adjustment when payment is made.

(2) All money issued under this section must be paid back into the Public
Account in the financial year in which the money was issued unless otherwise
approved by the Minister.
