Amendment.

Cancel Regulation 70 and substitute the following therefor :—

Leave of Absence.

70. Every person regularly employed may be granted leave of absence for any periods not exceeding in the whole twenty‑eight days in each year (including public holidays) at such times as the Officer Commanding may deem convenient.

(b) Subject to the requirements of the service, Officers Commanding shall make such arrangements as will allow each officer or man under their command leave of absence annually according to the foregoing Regulations, but, if it is found impracticable to grant such leave in any year, or for other sufficient reason, Officers Commanding may permit the leave to be taken in the following year in addition to the leave for such year, provided that in other cases leave not taken during the year it accrues shall lapse.

(c) In the case of an officer or man lent from the Royal Navy, he may be permitted if he so desires to defer fourteen days of his leave of absence each year and he shall be entitled to take this deferred leave as Foreign Service leave on his return to the United Kingdom on the conclusion of his service in the Naval Forces of the Commonwealth.
