Where, by reason of the exigencies of the Public Service in the year 1974, it was found to be impracticable to grant to an officer leave of absence for recreation for such a period as would prevent the lapsing of that part of the recreation leave credit of the officer that lapsed on 31 December 1974, the service of that officer during that year is, for the purposes of paragraph 68 (4) (b) of the Act service in special circumstances, and the longer period of recreation leave that accrues under sub-section 68 (4) of the Act to the officer on 1 January 1975 is a period equal to the total of—

(a) the period of the recreation leave credit that would, but for this regulation, accrue to the officer on 1 January 1975: and

(b) a period equal to the part of the recreation leave credit of the officer that lapsed on 31 December 1974.”.
