Amendment of Naval Reserve (Sea-going) Regulations.

(Statutory Rules 1926, No. 207, as amended to this date.)

(Fifth Amendment.)

1. Regulation 42 is amended by omitting paragraph (b) and inserting in its stead the following paragraph:—

“(b) served at sea in command of a large British ocean going vessel for at least three years, but discretion may be exercised as regards officers serving in large liners who have not been able to serve the full three years in command;”

2. Regulation 99 is amended by omitting sub-regulations (l), (3) and (5), and inserting in their stead the following sub-regulations:—

“(1) An officer who was entitled to training fees prior to the 1st January, 1927, may continue to be paid such fees in advance, provided that the rate of training fee remains unchanged, and training has been performed to cover the year in respect of which payment is claimed. On an officer becoming entitled to a higher rate of training fee, payment shall then be made in arrear.”

“(3) For each subsequent calendar year an officer shall be paid training fees, provided he has performed training to cover that year.”

 

“(5) In cases where the Naval Board is satisfied, that, owing to active employment in his profession, or to long service abroad, an officer has been unable to put in his training with regularity he will, on completing the training due, within four years in the case of an officer whose training period is biennial, and within six years in the case of an officer whose training period is triennial, from the termination of the year in which he last performed training, be allowed to draw his training fees due to that date. If he fails to perform his training within such period, all training fees for that period, not already earned, shall be forfeited, and he will, if he eventually performs training, become entitled to draw his fee for the then current calendar year.”
