Regulation 169a of the Commonwealth Public Service Regulations is amended—

(a) by omitting from paragraph (a) of sub-regulation (1.) thereof the words “married male officer who is twenty-one years of age or over” and inserting in their stead the words “male officer who is married or a widower”;

(b) by omitting paragraphs (aa), (b), (c) and (d) of sub-regulation (1.) thereof and inserting in their stead the following paragraphs:—

Provided that the sum per annum paid to any officer under this paragraph shall not exceed the amount by which the salary per annum of the officer falls short of £400:

Provided further that in the case of an unmarried adult male officer who wholly or partly supports any member or members of his family and who is in receipt of salary at a rate less than £208 per annum the allowance may be of such amount as is determined by the Commissioner but no such allowance shall be granted which would raise the total remuneration of any such officer above £208 per annum;

Provided further that in the case of any adult female officer who wholly or partly supports any member or members of her family and who is in receipt of salary at a rate less than £174 per annum, the allowance may be of such amount as is determined by the Commissioner but no such allowance shall be granted which would raise the total remuneration of any such officer above £174 per annum.”;
