For Travelling Allowances.

1. All salaried officers, except as hereinafter provided, shall receive travelling allowance for personal expenses at the daily rate of ten shillings for officers receiving salaries not exceeding four hundred pounds per annum, and twelve shillings and sixpence for all other officers.

2. These allowances shall be paid only where an officer is necessarily absent from his head-quarters at night; but, for all journeys where an officer is not obliged to be absent at night, actual expenses will be paid to an amount in no case exceeding the full daily rate above authorised for personal expenses, on production of a statement giving details of the nature of the charges, with dates, places, and to whom paid, but without being obliged to produce receipts.

3. The above regulations shall not apply to cases in which a temporarily higher rate shall be specially sanctioned by a Minister; nor shall anything in these regulations preclude Ministers from specially authorising temporary special rates or amounts for travelling, to meet special cases, as hitherto.

4. Cost of transport by land or sea will be paid by the Government, or, when paid by the officer travelling, the same will be recouped to him on production of vouchers; but no vouchers for such expenses will be required for sums of less than ten shillings, and vouchers for railway fares will not be required if the railway travelled upon and the extent of journey is stated.

5. For all days at sea, after the first day, an allowance of only two shillings and sixpence per diem to be given. For the first day at sea, the ordinary allowance may be drawn.
