THE HONOURABLE J. G. COATES PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS it is provided by the Naval Defence Act, 1913, that the Naval Discipline Acts for the time being in force in relation to the King's Naval Forces shall, subject to the first-mentioned Act and to any modifications and adaptations prescribed by the regulations, apply to the New Zealand Naval Forces: And whereas the Naval Discipline (Dominion Naval Forces) Act, 1911, declares that where provision has been made for the application of the Naval Discipline Act, 1866, in any self-governing Dominion that Act shall have effect as if references therein to His Majesty's Navy and His Majesty's ships included the forces and ships raised and provided by the Dominion, subject to such modifications and adaptations (if any) as may be made by the law of the Dominion, including such adaptations as may be so made for the purpose of authorizing or requiring anything to be done by or to the Admiralty or Secretary of the Admiralty, to be done by or to the Governor-General or by or to such person as may be vested with the authority by the Governor-General in Council:

Now, therefore, I, John Rushworth, Viscount Jellicoe, in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities conferred on me by section twenty-five of the Naval Defence Act, 1913, and the said Naval Discipline (Dominion Naval Forces) Act, 1911, and of all other powers and authorities enabling me in that behalf, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, hereby make the following regulations to come into operation forthwith.

6. The terms “His Majesty's Navy” and “His Majesty's Naval Forces” in the Naval Discipline Act, 1866, and its amendments, and all Orders in Council, regulations, and other rules and Acts thereunder, shall be deemed to include the forces raised and provided by the Dominion of Canada, the Commonwealth of Australia, the Union of South Africa, and Newfoundland; and the term “His Majesty's Service” shall be deemed to include service in the New Zealand Naval Forces.
