10. Regulation 155 of the principal regulations (as heretofore amended in Gazette No. 46, dated 8th July, 1926, Gazette No. 40, dated 25th May, 1933, and Gazette No. 64, dated 7th September, 1933) is revoked, and the following substituted:—

11. (1) The payment of the undernoted outfit grant and the free issue of articles as set out hereunder are conditional on the officer undertaking to render efficient service on the Active List for four consecutive years from the date he becomes eligible for this grant, and on the distinct understanding that articles issued free remain Government property.

(2) The following articles will be issued free to officers:—

1 greatcoat .. Renewable every twelve years during service on the active list of a unit.

1 hat, felt, with pugaree Renewable every four years during service on the active list of a unit.

1 sword .. Not renewable. To be handed in on ceasing to be on the active list of a unit.

1 belt, Sam Browne Not renewable. To be handed in on ceasing to be on the active or reserve list of a unit.

(3) On first appointment (including appointment on probation), officers of the Territorial Force whose commissions are dated on or after the date of the coming into force of this regulation will receive an outfit grant of £10, and will in addition receive a free issue of certain articles as set out in subpara. (2).

(4) An annual allowance of £2 for upkeep of outfit, payable in arrear, will be paid to officers of the Active List of the Territorial Force who render efficient service during the year for which the allowance is claimed. (The allowance for members of the New Zealand Army Nursing Service is shown in para. 129D.)

(5) The annual upkeep allowance will be payable on 1st April each year for the preceding year’s efficient service, and shall not be permitted to accumulate. Officers joining or ceasing to serve on the Active List prior to the 31st March will be paid a portion of this allowance, pro rata, to the period during which they have served.

(6) An officer of the Territorial Force will, on ceasing to serve on the active list of a unit—

(a) If he has rendered four years’ efficient service, retain all articles of uniform and clothing:

(b) If he has not rendered four years’ efficient service, but has completed two years’ efficient service, return to store all articles which were issued free, and refund to the Public Account 25 per cent. of the amount of the outfit grant—viz., £2 10s.:

(c) If he has not rendered two years’ efficient service, return to store all articles issued free, and refund to the Public Account 50 per cent. of the amount of the outfit grant—viz., £5:

(d) If he was transferred from the Reserve or reappointed from the Retired List, the percentage of refund of outfit grant as laid down in (b) and (c) shall apply to the amount received under subpara. (8), and the “efficient service” qualification under this regulation shall count from the date he was so transferred or reappointed.

(7) Bandmaster warrant officers promoted to honorary commissioned rank will receive the same outfit grant, annual upkeep allowance, and free issues, except sword.

(8) An officer transferred from the Reserve or reappointed from the Retired List to the Active List may receive as outfit grant a sum equal to that which he would have received as annual allowance, if, instead of having been on the Reserve or Retired List, he had been on the Active List and classified as an efficient officer for the same period, provided that no such payment shall exceed £10.

11. Regulation 187 of the principal regulations (as substituted in Gazette No. 36 of 4th June, 1926, and amended in Gazette No. 40 of 25th May, 1933) is further amended as follows:—

(2) That the damage to the motor-cycle was not occasioned or contributed to by any fault or want of due care on the part of the owner thereof:

(3) That the damage to the motor-cycle was the result of the use thereof on military duty.

(e) That compensation shall be granted to the owner of any motor-cycle only in respect of damage to such motor-cycle not occasioned or contributed to by any fault or want of due care on the part of the owner thereof.

(f) That in assessing the amount of compensation payable to the owner of the motor-cycle a deduction shall be made of any sum of money recovered or recoverable by the owner thereof from any source whatsoever in respect of the damage to such motor-cycle.
