Explanatory note
EXPlANATORY NOTE
The enactments set out in the Schedule to this Order specify the maximum amount of fees payable per day for the services of officers of government departments engaged in certain inquiries. With a view to securing from the fees a net return corresponding more nearly with the costs incurred, the Order amends the enactments by increasing the maximum amount of the fees.
