Substitution of the following new clause in lieu of clause 30:—
Clause 30.—An advance of £200 may be made to the Paying Officer out of which he may pay duly certified accounts. The advance, which may be reduced or increased from time to time by the Treasurer, shall be paid into a Bank approved by the Treasurer. All cheques drawn on the account by the Paying Officer shall be countersigned by the Official Secretary. The provisions of these regulations in regard to payments from the Commonwealth London Bank Account shall also apply to payments from the Paying Officer’s Advance Account.
The Paying Officer may be given and may cash a cheque for £10 (or for such greater sum as may be approved by the Treasurer) for the purpose of paying petty expenses, and he may also be permitted by the Official Secretary to cash cheques drawn for payment of salaries and to pay the officers in cash.
