(viii) Supply Officers promoted direct from the lower deck under these regulations will receive the same pay, allowances, deferred pay, gratuities, &c., as Supply Officers entered as Cadet (S) except for uniform allowance, which will be payable on the scale for Acting Sub-Lieutenants promoted from the lower deck and subsequently confirmed.

3. Selection Boards will be held once a year in April, and arrangements in connection with this will be promulgated by Navy Office.

6. The names of selected candidates will then be reported to the Admiralty and arrangements made for them to arrive in the United Kingdom in time to commence the course.
