2. Retired Chaplains recalled to service during war or emergency who after recall may be over the age of fifty, and Chaplains retained in the service after the age of fifty for a similar reason, will not be regarded as specially selected for retention, notwithstanding that they may have attained twenty-two years’ seniority, exclusive of time on the Retired List, before or during recall or retention. This rule applies to all Chaplains whether entered before, on, or after 1st January, 1928.

3. Chaplains are also entitled to Marine attendants in accordance with the above scales.

4. Chaplains on loan will be subject to the conditions of service laid down in the King’s Regulations and Admiralty Instructions.

5. Allowance in Lieu of Servants.—Officers living on shore without the services or partial services of a servant provided at the expense of the Crown, and in receipt of the full pay of their rank and lodging and provision allowances at the ordinary rates, are eligible for servants’ allowance under the conditions and at the rates shown in the King’s Regulations and Admiralty Instructions, subject in each case to the prior approval of the Naval Board.

6. Officers of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines returning from Service in the New Zealand Division of the Royal Navy.—Officers of the Royal Navy returning from the New Zealand Division for reversion to the Royal Navy are to be borne nominally on the books of H.M.S. “Victory,” for disciplinary purposes only, from the date of arrival in England to the date of expiration of their foreign-service leave. Payment will be made to them direct by the High Commissioner for New Zealand, London, who will forward a Transfer List to H.M.S. “Victory,” showing the period for which such officers are to be borne nominally on that Depot’s books, a notation being made that payment will be effected direct by the High Commissioner for New Zealand for such period.

7. Officers of the Royal Marines, however, are to be borne for pay on separate lists on the books of their respective R.M. Divisions. They will there be credited with pay at New Zealand rates for the period of passage home and for any New Zealand leave due, and charged with any allotments, in accordance with the particulars given on the pay documents accompanying the officers.

8. Form S. 48 is to be used for all officers, and is to show the amount of leave due, ship by which travelling, and, if travelling other than by the normal route, ship by which the passage would normally have been made, &c. Six copies of the form are to be prepared, and disposed of as follows:—

(1) High Commissioner for New Zealand.
(2) High Commissioner for New Zealand (for transmission to H.M.S. “Victory”).
(3) Accountant General of the Navy.
(4) Secretary to the Admiralty (C. W. Branch).
(5) Navy Office, Wellington.
(6) Ship’s copy.

In the case of a Royal Marine officer only one copy need be sent to the High Commissioner for information, the original being forwarded direct to the R.M. Division of the officer concerned.

4. For the purpose of settling travelling-expense claims the name of the Depot to which Naval officers are normally attached should be noted on Form S. 48.

130. Rates to be credited.—The rates of pay and allowances given in this section and in Appendices III and IV are to be credited to all ratings in the New Zealand Division, whatever the form of engagement under which they may be serving, with the proviso that the combined pay and allowances payable to ratings loaned from the Imperial Navy will in no case be less than that payable under Imperial regulations to them and to their wives and [or] children.

132. The daily pay of men in the second class for conduct is to be less by one-sixth than their pay when not in that class. Pay in this connection shall not be regarded as including marriage or dependant’s allowance or
