Schedule. 1. These provisions shall apply to such areas and places and for such periods as may from time to time be laid down by the Admiralty. 2. Officers, Seamen and Marines, their wives or dependants, may if they so desire be issued in any such area or place with vouchers denominated in values expressed in terms of the currency of the United Kingdom up to the amount of the pay and allowances from time to time due to them from Navy Votes or up to such other amount as from time to time may be prescribed by the .Admiralty or by any, Officer authorised by the Admiralty in that behalf. Such vouchers shall be subject to such. conditions regarding the time and place of their issue, the conditions upon which they may be held, assigned or exchanged for goods or services or for the currency of the United Kingdom or that of any other territory and otherwise with respect thereto as maybe prescribed as aforesaid. 3. The amount represented by the aggregate values denominated on the vouchers issued to any Officer, Seaman or Marine or the wife or dependant of any such Officer, Seaman or Marine may except in cases where such vouchers have been paid for on their issue be deducted from any pay or allowances from Navy Votes which would otherwise be receivable by that person. 4. No payments from Navy Votes in respect of Naval pay and allowances shall be made in any area or place to which these provisions apply save in such cases and subject to such conditions as may from time to time be prescribed by the Admiralty or by any Officer authorized by the Admiralty in that behalf. His Majesty, having taken the said Memorial into consideration, was pleased, by and with the advice of His Privy Council, to approve of what is therein proposed.
