(2) This notice shall come into force on the 1st day of January 1954.

2. The holder of any New Zealand Government stock registered at the Bank of England may make application in writing for permission to transfer the stock to the Stock Transition Account for the purpose of having an equal sum of like stock registered in his name at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, Wellington:

Provided that applications may only be made in respect of amounts of £5 or multiples of £5 of stock:

Provided also that, except in special cases at the discretion of the Chief Accountant, Reserve Bank of New Zealand, applications shall not be accepted from persons who are not domiciled, or about to be domiciled, in New Zealand.

3. A fee shall be payable at the rate of 2s. 6d. for every £100 or fraction thereof of the face value of the stock to which any such application relates.

4. On the registration of the transfer of any stock to the Stock Transition Account, the Bank of England shall—

(a) Send by post to the applicant or his agent a certificate in the form numbered 1 in the Schedule to this notice; and

(b) Send by post to the Chief Accountant of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, Wellington, a duplicate of that certificate; and

(c) Give notice of the transfer to the High Commissioner for New Zealand in London.

5. On receipt by the Chief Accountant of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, Wellington, of the said certificate and duplicate, the stock shall be registered in the stock registers kept for the purpose at the Reserve Bank, Wellington, as from the date of the transfer to the Stock Transition Account, and all transactions relating to the stock shall thereafter be made in Wellington.

6. In case of the loss or destruction of the certificate or duplicate the Bank of England, on proof thereof to its satisfaction, may grant a further duplicate thereof, which shall stand in the place of the original if the original has not been previously acted on, but on the tender of such a duplicate the Chief Accountant may demand and take from the person tendering it such indemnity as the Chief Accountant may deem fit against the production of or any claim under the original.

7. The transfer of the stock to the Stock Transition Account shall be deemed to take effect as at the half-yearly due date up to which interest has been paid on the stock by the Bank of England as quoted in the certificate issued to the applicant. While the stock is in the Stock Transition Account no dealings whatever shall be made in the stock, and no interest or other money shall be paid thereon by the Bank of England.

8. After registration of the stock in the New Zealand registers all the conditions relating to the rates of interest and currency of the stock shall continue in force except as regards the place for payment of interest and redemption, but the mode of transfer and procedure generally shall be the same as that in practice at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, Wellington.

9. All stock transferred from the London registers to the New Zealand registers in accordance with this notice shall remain in the New Zealand registers until redeemed.

10. The regulations of the 16th day of September 1929 providing for the transfer of inscribed stock from the London to the New Zealand registers* are hereby revoked.
