The second bill that we address during this particular motion is the Imprest Supply (First for 2022/23) Bill, and this is needed to provide the sole parliamentary financial authority for Government spending in 2022-23 until the Appropriation (2022/23 Estimates) Bill is passed. As the deadline for the third reading debate on the latter bill to be completed is four months after Budget day—that is, 19 September in this particular year—this imprest supply bill provides supply for the first three months of the 2022-23 financial year. In addition, it is standard practice for imprest supply bills to cover the possible materialisation of fiscal risks in the uncertain timing and spread of expenditure. This imprest supply bill seeks to provide sufficient authority for the Government to incur a maximum of $30 billion in expenses, $9 billion of capital expenditure, and $1 billion in capital injections.
