The section refers to the Minister directing the discharge of a man from the Permanent Defence Force or the Reserve Defence Force " for prescribed reasons ". When are they prescribed or how is any information about them conveyed ?
SECTION 73.
Question proposed : "That Section 73 stand part of the Bill".
They are prescribed in the Defence Force Regulations.
They are prescribed at the moment ?
Yes.
They are set out in the discharge regulations and I take it there will be no revolutionary change. The Minister may not like a fellow and he can order him to get out, but we cannot do very much about it.
Question put, and agreed to.
