Travelling-allowances.

145. The rates of travelling-allowance for members of the Territorial Force
     shall be the minimum rate per rank as laid down for the Permanent Forces, and
     subject to the same conditions.

All ranks shall be entitled to out-of-pocket expenses, in addition to steamer,
rail, or coach fares, when travelling to or from the annual camp or courses of
instruction, &c., but such out-of-pocket expenses shall in no case exceed the
daily travelling-allowance provided above.

     school or course which is not the nearest available one, any extra expense caused
     thereby will be defrayed by the officer or man concerned, and will not be admitted
     as a public charge. Officers and men attending a course of instruction shall not
     be entitled to any allowances in connection with their horses unless such horses
     are required for mounted duties, a certificate to that effect being required.

149. Officers and men who reside at their homes while attending a con-
     tinuous course of instruction will be allowed their actual daily travelling-expenses
     if such expenses do not exceed the lodging-allowances to which they would other-
     wise have been entitled.
