Addition.

After Regulation 292, add—

“292a. Military Stores which form part of the equipment of the Defence Force for war shall not be issued for use for other than military purposes, except, by special consent of the Minister, for charitable purposes. Camp equipment, if urgently required for other Government purposes, may be transferred to other Government Departments, provided such other Departments shall, if they retain the articles for a greater period than one month, obtain and transfer similar articles to the Defence Department.

When stores are authorized to be loaned for charitable purposes, Senior Ordnance Officers will deliver them only to responsible persons, who shall sign an undertaking to be personally responsible for all damage to or loss of such stores, and shall deposit with the District Paymaster 5 per cent. of the value thereof, and the assessed value of any loss or deficiency may be deducted from such deposit or recovered from the persons signing the undertaking.
