Application.

23.—(1.) Subject to sub-regulation (4.) of this regulation, the amendments of the Military Financial Regulations effected by sub-regulation (1.) of regulation 2, regulations 3, 4, 5 and 6, sub-regulation (1.) of regulation 8 and regulations 9, 15, 17, 18 and 20 of these Regulations apply in relation to service in the Permanent Military Forces on and after the twenty-sixth day of June, 1964.

(2.) Subject to sub-regulation (4.) of this regulation, the amendments of the Military Financial Regulations effected by regulations 10 and 11, sub-regulation (1.) of regulation 13 and regulations 19 and 21 of these Regulations apply in relation to service in the Citizen Military Forces on and after the first day of July, 1964.

(3.) The amendment of regulation 202 of the Military Financial Regulations effected by regulation 14 of these Regulations applies in relation to service in the Australian Cadet Corps on and after the first day of July, 1964.

(4.) The amendments of the Military Financial Regulations effected by regulations 20 and 21 of these Regulations do not apply in relation to service of a medical officer or a dental officer before the commencement of this regulation.

(5.) The rate of pay that would, but for this sub-regulation, be the rate of pay for a medical officer or a dental officer—

(a) in respect of service in the Permanent Military Forces on a day in the period from and including the twenty-sixth day of June, 1964, to and including the day immediately before the commencement of this regulation; or

(b) in respect of service in the Citizen Military Forces on a day in the period from and including the first day of July, 1964, to and including the day immediately before the commencement of this regulation,

is increased by the amount by which the sum of the pay of the officer in respect of that day under the Military Financial Regulations as in force on that day and the allowance payable in respect of that day by virtue of regulation 26 or 180, as the case requires, of the Military Financial Regulations as so in force is less than that sum would have been if the the amendments effected by these Regulations had been in force on that day.

(6.) Where, but for this sub-regulation, a male member would, by virtue of the application of the amendments of sub-regulation (3.) or (5.) of regulation 15 of the Military Financial Regulations as from the twenty-sixth day of June, 1964, in accordance with sub-regulation (1.) of this regulation, cease to be entitled to marriage allowance or become entitled to marriage allowance at a reduced rate, the member shall not cease to be so entitled to marriage allowance, or the rate of marriage allowance shall not be reduced, as the case may be, until the date of commencement of these Regulations.

shillings and sixpence per day under the Military Financial Regulations as amended by these Regulations, the member may increase his allotment in respect of the period or part of the period, as the case may be, and, if he does so, marriage allowance is payable in accordance with the Military Financial Regulations as amended by these Regulations as if his increased allotment had been in force during the period or part of the period.
