Member's explanatory statement

The current effect of section 73(4)(b) of the Act is to restrict transfers for Competent Authorities who may have a legitimate operating need, and should possess the internal capability to assess that need, from making transfers to recipients who are not relevant authorities or international organisations. Removal of this restriction will enable them to do so where such a transfer is justified and necessary.
