Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

IN pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities conferred on him by section twenty-five of the Naval Defence Act, 1913, and of all other powers and authorities enabling him in that behalf, the Governor-General, with the advice of the Executive Council, doth hereby amend and supplement the regulations referred to in the Schedule hereto as shown therein.

SCHEDULE.

Regulations for the Government and Payment of the New Zealand Division of the Royal Navy, 1929.

Article 237: Cancel, and substitute—

237. Tropical Clothing, Sun Helmets, and White Uniform Clothing.—A gratuitous issue of three tropical shirts (for Chief Petty Officers) or three tropical singlets (for other ratings) and three pairs of drill shorts is to be made to each permanent rating on first being drafted to a seagoing ship. A similar issue is to be made to loan ratings on joining a seagoing ship, provided that an issue at New Zealand Government expense has not already been made. Subsequent issues of tropical clothing are to be made on the same scale after three years’ actual service in seagoing ships of the New Zealand Division, or in other ships employed in the tropics, provided that the rating has not less than one year to serve in the New Zealand Division.

238. Sun helmets (and covers) are to be issued gratuitously to all ratings under the same conditions as for tropical clothing.

239. The gratuitous issue of three khaki singlets and two pairs of khaki shorts to Royal Marine ranks is to be made under the same conditions as for seamen.

240. The additional articles of white uniform clothing permitted to be issued gratuitously on foreign stations, as shown in the Uniform Regulations, are to be issued gratuitously under the same conditions of service as for tropical clothing. Similar issues are to be made to ratings on change of uniform from Class II to Class I or Class III under the same conditions. If more convenient, the value of the articles at current issuing prices may be credited in lieu of an issue in kind, provided that the men actually equip themselves with the additional articles.

241. Gratuitous issues are to be supported by a certified nominal list, forwarded as an enclosure to the clothing account. The dates on which the clothing is issued are to be shown on the list, together with details of the articles supplied.

242. The last dates of gratuitous issues of tropical clothing and sun helmets, and of white uniform clothing, respectively, are to be noted in the “Remarks” column of the ledger, thus—“T. C. date”; “W.U.C. date”—the notations being carried forward from quarter to quarter and shown on transfer lists.

243. Where, in exceptional cases, the value of white uniform clothing is credited instead of an issue in kind, such credit is to appear in the ledger and is not to be made through the Cash Account. In all such cases a certificate is to accompany the ledger as an enclosure certifying that the men who have received credit have actually equipped themselves with the articles of white uniform clothing for which credit has been given.
