Royal Commissions Act 1923

The Governor may make regulations prescribing a scale of allowances to be paid to any witness summoned under this Act for the witness’s travelling expenses and maintenance while absent from the witness’s usual place of abode.

The claim to allowance of any such witness certified by the chairperson or by the sole commissioner, as the case may be, shall be paid by the Colonial Treasurer out of moneys to be provided by Parliament for the purposes of the commission.
