3. Regulation 53 is repealed and the following regulation is inserted in its stead:—

“53. Officers (including those appointed for temporary service) shall receive the same uniform allowances as provided for the Permanent Naval Forces (Sea-going), but those allowances shall be paid as follows, viz.:—

(a) One-half on first appointment for training under regulations 21, 28a, or 29:

(b)One-quarter on being appointed for 12 months’ voluntary training or service under regulation 32; if so appointed:

(c) The balance (one-half or one-quarter as the case may be) on being called out for service by Proclamation.

(2) If promoted after a portion of the allowance has been paid, an Officer shall, on the next occasion on which a part of the allowance is due under (a), (b), or (c), above, be paid the difference between the amount already received by him and the amount he would have received at the rate for the higher rank, in addition to that portion then payable at the rate for his rank.”

(3) Officers transferred direct from other branches of the Service or within twelve months of discharge therefrom shall, however, receive no uniform gratuity, but be granted the ‘upkeep allowance’ only.
