Amendment of the Naval Forces Regulations 

After regulation 144 of the Naval Forces Regulations the following regulation is inserted:—

War service leave.

“144a.—(1.) Subject to such conditions as the Naval Board determines, a period of war service leave, calculated at such rate as the Naval Board determines, may be credited to a member of the Permanent Naval Forces who has rendered or renders, on or after the first day of July, 1968, special service, within the meaning of the Repatriation (Special Overseas Service) Act 1962-1966 or of that Act as amended at any time.

“(2.) A member of the Permanent Naval Forces may be granted war service leave under this regulation for a period equal to, or for periods aggregating, his war service leave credit and, if he is absent from duty on war service leave so granted, his war service leave credit is reduced by the period of that absence.

“(3.) Where a member of the Permanent Naval Forces has been paid an amount under regulation 250C of the Naval Financial Regulations instead of being granted a period of war service leave that might have been granted to him, his war service leave credit shall be deemed to have been reduced by a period equal to the period in respect of which he has been paid that amount.”.
