  1. Officers in receipt of victualling-allowance detached for duty on shore or in other ships for periods of less than six hours will be paid an allowance of 1s. 6d. per meal; petty officers and men, 1s. per meal. Such payment must be supported by a certificate that absence was necessary during the prescribed meal-hours.

  2. Officers temporarily loaned to other ships for periods exceeding six but under forty-eight hours, who are required to continue their mess subscription in their own ships in their absence, may receive an allowance of 3s. per day, or 1s. 6d. a meal (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) for broken periods. In the case of officers and men absent over forty-eight hours, messing and victualling allowances shall cease so long as subsistence allowance continues to be payable.

  1. Payment in the first instance is to be made at the annual rate, but in cases where the period of payment does not exceed one month the difference between the daily and annual rates shall then be credited.

  2. No deduction is to be made in the allowance when paid at the annual rate in respect of leave granted. Payment at the daily rate is, however, temporarily to cease when leave is granted in excess of four days.

  3. In cases where lodging-allowance is paid owing to quarters not being available, and an officer or man resides at his own home, marriage allowance is to cease so long as lodging-allowance continues to be payable.

  4. Lodging-allowance is not to be paid except with the authority of the Naval Board or Commodore Commanding.

  5. Compensation in Lieu of Provisions, Light, and Fuel (Provision Allowance).—Officers and men borne on ships’ books who are not victualled in consequence of being absent from the ship on duty, and who are not in receipt of subsistence allowance, are to be paid provision allowance at the rate of 3s. 6d. per diem.
