3. All ratings serving in the New Zealand Division shall be entitled to
   twenty-eight days' leave annually, fourteen of which may be forgone
   annually and allowed to accumulate, to be taken as foreign-service leave
   by ratings on loan from the Royal Navy, or at the expiration of engagement
   by other ratings serving under engagements not exceeding three
   years. This option should not be allowed to ratings serving under longer
   engagements, except during the last three years of such engagement.
   Subject to the exigencies of the Service, ratings who re-engage shall be
   allowed to take the leave they have accumulated at the time of re-engaging.

4. All leave, other than week-end leave or periods not exceeding
   forty-eight hours, shall count as long leave, except that sick-leave—the
   grant of which shall be governed by the King's Regulations and Admiralty
   Instructions—shall not be reckoned or included in the amount of recreational
   leave prescribed.

5. Applicability of Admiralty Orders.—The King's Regulations and
   Admiralty Instructions, and other orders issued by and with the authority
   of the Imperial Admiralty, are not to be regarded as constituting any
   authority for expenditure in the New Zealand Division, except as provided
   for in these regulations.

6. Fleet orders, store memoranda, &c., issued by the Admiralty will
   be issued to ships of the New Zealand Division, and are to be complied
   with as if emanating from the Naval Board, except in so far as they involve
   expense. In this event, as when an alteration or addition is ordered, the
   supply or manufacture of stores or fittings approved, or modification in
   rates of pay and allowances authorized, action is to be suspended pending
   the receipt of a communication from the Naval Board as to the applicability
   of the particular order to the Division. This regulation will not apply to
   amendments to Store Establishments, which are to be acted on, and stores
   demanded as necessary to complete thereto, without further authorization.
