Regulations respecting Foreign Orders and Medals.

Department of Internal Affairs,
Wellington, 13th July, 1928.

THE following revised provisional regulations respecting foreign orders and medals are published for general information.

M. POMARE,
Acting Minister of Internal Affairs.

REGULATIONS RESPECTING FOREIGN ORDERS AND MEDALS APPLICABLE TO PERSONS IN THE SERVICE OF THE CROWN.

Orders.

1. No person in the service of the Crown shall accept or wear the insignia of any foreign order without having previously obtained His Majesty’s permission to do so, signified either—
   (a) By Warrant under the Royal Sign-Manual, or
   (b) By restricted permission conveyed through the Keeper of His Majesty’s Privy Purse.

2. When permission is given by Warrant under the Royal Sign-Manual, the insignia of the foreign order may be worn at all times and without any restriction.

When restricted permission is given the insignia may only be worn on the occasions specified in the terms of the letter from the Keeper of His Majesty’s Privy Purse conveying the Royal sanction.

3. Full and unrestricted permission by Warrant under the Royal Sign-Manual is contemplated in the following cases :—
   For a Decoration conferred on an officer in His Majesty’s Naval, Military, or Air Forces lent to a Foreign Government; on an officer in His Majesty’s Naval, Military, or Air Forces attached by His Majesty’s Government to a Foreign Navy, Army, or Air Force during hostilities; or on any British official lent to a Foreign Government and not in receipt of any emoluments from British public funds during the period of such loan.

4. Restricted permission is particularly contemplated for decorations which have been conferred in recognition of personal attention to a foreign Sovereign, the Head of a foreign State, or a member of a foreign Royal Family, and which are therefore of a more or less complimentary character, but will also be granted for decorations conferred on other exceptional occasions when in the public interest it is deemed expedient that they should be accepted.

5. Restricted permission will generally be given for decorations conferred in the following cases, but, as indicated in the preceding paragraph, will not necessarily be limited to these cases :—
   (1) On British Ambassadors or Ministers abroad when the King pays a State visit to the country to which they are accredited :
   (NOTE.—A State visit is defined as one on which the King is accompanied by a Minister or high official in attendance.)
   (2) On members of deputations of British Regiments to Foreign Heads of States :
   (3) On members of special missions when the King is represented at a foreign coronation, wedding, funeral, or similar occasion; or on any diplomatic representative when specially accredited to represent His Majesty on such occasions (but not on the members of his Staff).

Restricted permission will not be given to—
(a) British Ambassadors or Ministers abroad when leaving, except on final retirement from His Majesty’s Diplomatic Service, and in respect of a decoration offered by the Head of State to whom they were last accredited ;
(b) British officers attending foreign manœuvres ;
(c) Naval officers of British Squadrons visiting foreign waters.

6. Both in the case of full and of restricted permission the matter will be submitted to the King by His Majesty’s Principal Secretary of State for foreign Affairs, who shall be under no obligation to consider applications for permission unless the desire of the Head of a foreign State to confer upon a British subject the insignia of an order is notified to him before the order is conferred, either through the British Diplomatic Representative accredited to the Head of the foreign State, or through the Diplomatic Representative of the latter at the Court of St. James.

7. When His Majesty’s Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs shall have taken the King’s pleasure on any such application, and shall have obtained His Majesty’s permission for the person in whose favour it has been made to wear the insignia of a foreign order, he shall signify the same to His Majesty’s Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, in order that he may cause a Warrant, if it be a case for the issue of a Warrant as defined in Rule 2, to be prepared for the Royal Sign-Manual.

When such Warrant shall have been signed by the King, a notification thereof shall be inserted in the Gazette.
