Regulation 159 of the Naval Financial Regulations describes conditions under which certain gratuities are not payable.
These Statutory Rules make consequential amendments to regulation 159 to reflect the making of Determination 0705, Gratuities, under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903 to replace Part III of the Defence Force (Bounties and Gratuities) Regulations which is being repealed.
The date of effect is the date on which Determination 0705 is made.
