"Officers entitled to lodging-allowance, when appointed to relieving
duty involving separate payment for such duty, will not be entitled to
claim lodging-allowance for a longer time than one week after the
relieving duty commences.

"Officers are not entitled to draw travelling-allowance for any
time during which they perform relieving duty, except as follows:
When in performing relieving duty an officer is not required to stay
more than three nights in the place where such duty is performed, he
may be paid travelling-allowance instead of relieving-allowance. But
travelling-allowance may be paid for the day occupied in travelling
to or from headquarters, provided that the time occupied exceeds six
hours on each occasion.

"In any special case the Commissioner may authorize payment
of an allowance at a higher rate."

Regulation 117 is hereby amended by deleting the words "Officers
receiving £450 a year and over, 2s. 6d.; under £450 a year, 2s. 0d.,"
and substituting therefor the words "Officers receiving £430 a year
and over, 2s. 6d.; under £430 a year, 2s. 0d."

Regulation 201 is hereby amended by striking out the figures
"£350," and substituting therefor the figures "£330."

Regulation 209 (3) is hereby revoked, and the following substituted
in lieu thereof:—

"209. (3.) An officer of the Seventh Class of the Clerical Division
who is in receipt of a salary of not more than £150 per annum shall
be deemed to be performing the duties of a position of a higher class
or grade than that in which he is classified if he performs the duties
ordinarily performed by an officer of the same class who is in receipt
of a salary of not less than £235 per annum, and may be granted, on
the approval of the Commissioner, and subject to the provisions of
this regulation, payment in addition to salary at a rate of not more
than £25 per annum: Provided that no such payment shall be
authorized unless the Commissioner is satisfied that the duties so
performed have been actually taken over by the officer claiming from
an officer in receipt of a salary of not less than £235 per annum, and
are such as are ordinarily allotted only to officers of the Seventh Class
in receipt of salaries of not less than £235 per annum, and that such
duties have been performed in a proper and efficient manner by the
officer claiming payment of an allowance in respect thereof."

As witness my hand this 18th day of February, 1922.
