New Zealand Expeditionary Force.—Regulations as to Temporary Exemption of Voluntary Recruits.

LIVERPOOL, Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings at Wellington, this sixteenth day of January, 1917.

Present:

THE HONOURABLE JAMES ALLEN PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS there are certain cases in which it is expedient in the public interest that men who have voluntarily enlisted in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force should be granted temporary or conditional leave of absence from their military duties by reason of the fact that they are engaged in employments which are essential for the public welfare, or by reason of circumstances which would render their immediate military service a cause of undue hardship to themselves or others: And whereas it is advisable that such leave of absence should not be granted in any case except after judicial inquiry and upon the recommendation of a Military Service Board:

Now, therefore, I, Arthur William de Brito Savile, Earl of Liverpool, the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, do hereby, in pursuance of the authority conferred upon me by the Defence Act, 1909, the Commissions of Inquiry Act, 1908, and of all other powers and authorities enabling me in that behalf, make the following regulations, and declare that they shall come into force on the publication thereof in the New Zealand Gazette.

REGULATIONS.

EVERY Military Service Board established under the Military Service Act, 1916, is hereby constituted a Commission under the Commissions of Inquiry Act, 1908, for the purposes of these regulations, and shall exercise the jurisdiction hereby conferred in addition to the jurisdiction conferred by the Military Service Act, 1916.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
