Whereas Your Majesty was graciously pleased by Your Order in Council of 6th March 1896 to sanction payment of Store Allowances to Chief Gunners, Boatswains and Carpenters and Warrant Officers serving in certain Ships and Establishments at home, at the following rates, viz. : -

Warrant Officer under 5 years' service 6d, a day.

Warrant Officer after 5 years' service 8d, a day.

And whereas we are of opinion that the Officers whom it has been found necessary to appoint at each of the three Home Ports to take charge of the Electric and Torpedo Fittings of Ships in the Fleet Reserve should be paid Store Allowance according to the same scale ;

We beg leave humbly to recommend that Your Majesty will be graciously pleased by Your Order in Council to sanction payment of the same from 1st April 1899.

The Lords Commissioners of Your Majesty's Treasury have signified their concurrence in this proposal.
