a
deduction, by way of a rations and quarters charge, shall be made from pay due
to that member at the rate per day ascertained in accordance with the table in

“(2)
For the purposes of sub-regulation (1), in the calculation of a rations and

in a schedule to those Regulations referred to in that table,
to a
member or an officer shall be read as a reference to a member or an officer,
respectively, within the meaning of these Regulations.
“(4)

the meaning of those Regulations.”.
Application
2. (1) These Regulations apply
in relation to reserve service after 10 March 1981.
(2) Where, in relation to
reserve service on a day after 10 March 1981, a member has had an amount
deducted under regulation 15 of the Defence Force (Reserves) (Financial)
Regulations as in force before the commencement of these Regulations from pay
due to him and where, after the commencement of these Regulations, he is not

respect of that day from the pay due to him, that member is entitled to an
amount equal to the amount so deducted from his pay in respect of that day.

reserve service on a day after 10 March 1981, a member has had an amount
deducted under regulation 15 of the Defence Force (Reserves) (Financial)
Regulations as in force before the commencement of these Regulations from pay

had an amount deducted under regulation 15 of the Defence Force (Reserves)
(Financial) Regulations as in force before the commencement of these
Regulations from pay due to him and where, after the commencement of these
Regulations, he would, but for the operation of this sub-regulation, have been
liable to have had an amount by way of a rations and quarters charge deducted
in respect of that day from pay due to him, that member shall not be so liable.
