Overview

The Statutory Rules of 1937, No. 80, are Regulations made under the Naval Defence Act 1910–1934 by the Governor-General in Council. These Regulations address specific financial matters within the Navy, aiming to ensure the smooth administration and financial management of naval personnel. The policy objective, as can be inferred, is to maintain effective operational readiness by providing appropriate allowances and financial support to naval staff. This legislative instrument was enacted to amend certain financial regulations related to kit upkeep, outfit gratuities, and bread-making allowances for naval personnel, ensuring that these allowances are up to date and reflective of current financial standards. The Regulations came into effect on 1 August 1937, as per the provisions outlined in the Naval Financial Regulations.

Scope and Application

The Regulations under the Naval Defence Act 1910–1934 apply to the financial allowances and payments for personnel within the Australian Navy, including ratings and officers, who are engaged in specific duties such as kit upkeep, outfit gratuities, and bread-making on ships equipped with bakeries. These regulations pertain to the Commonwealth of Australia, impacting naval personnel across the nation. The amendments specified in the regulations adjust the financial allowances and gratuities, and clarify the conditions under which extra pay for bread-making can be granted. The application of these regulations is extended through the Naval Financial Regulations, which are amended to incorporate these changes, thereby impacting the financial entitlements of naval personnel directly. The regulations do not explicitly state any exclusions or exemptions, but the conditions under which the allowances are granted implicitly set the boundaries of eligibility.

Key Provisions

The Regulations under the Naval Defence Act 1910–1934, specifically Statutory Rules 1937 No. 80, bring about amendments to the Naval Financial Regulations. These amendments concern kit upkeep allowances, outfit gratuities, and bread-making allowances for naval personnel. Regulation 2 modifies the kit upkeep allowance by adjusting the amounts specified in sub-regulation (1) of Regulation 34, increasing certain allowances from 7½d., 6½d., 7d., and 7d. to 8d., 7d., 7½d., and 7½d. respectively. Regulation 3 updates the outfit gratuities on change of class or uniform, changing the specified amounts in sub-regulation (1) of Regulation 35 from £13 15s., £12, £11 5s., and £9 to £14 12s. 6d., £12 10s. 0d., £11 12s. 6d., and £9 15s. respectively. Regulation 4 replaces sub-regulation (8)(b) of Regulation 50 with new provisions regarding bread-making allowances for ratings in ships with bakeries, specifying daily rates based on the quantity of bread produced. These Regulations impose specific financial obligations on the naval authorities concerning the allowances and gratuities provided to naval personnel. They mandate adjustments to the kit upkeep allowances and outfit gratuities, ensuring that naval personnel receive appropriate financial support based on the updated rates. Furthermore, Regulation 4 outlines detailed conditions for bread-making allowances, stipulating the rates based on the quantity of bread produced and the number of ratings involved. These conditions ensure that ratings receive additional compensation for their extra duties in baking bread. Breaches of these Regulations, though not explicitly outlined in the provided text, could potentially lead to administrative or financial repercussions for the naval authorities. The Regulations are designed to ensure compliance with financial obligations as specified, and non-compliance could result in disputes or claims from naval personnel regarding their entitlements. While the text does not specify penalties, breaches could lead to financial liabilities or administrative actions against the responsible authorities for failing to adhere to the prescribed allowances and gratuities.
