Admiralty Order in Council No. 86

11 January 1900.

A.G.

Whereas the duties of Flag Captain at Sheerness have hitherto been performed by the Captain of the Gunnery School, who has received Command Money at 12s. a day, the rate payable to Flag Captains under the regulations for the government of Your Majesty's Naval Service ;

And whereas it has appeared to us expedient that the duties of the Flag Captain at Sheerness shall be transferred to the Captain of the Port Guard Ship ;

And whereas this transfer will involve the reduction of the Command Money of the Captain of the Gunnery School to 5s. a day, the rate payable to Captains on full pay but not in command of a ship ;

We beg leave humbly to recommend that in view of the importance of the duties devolving upon the Captain of the Gunnery School, Your Majesty will be graciously pleased by Your Order in Council to sanction the continuance of Command Money at 12s, a day to the officer filling the post.

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

N.P. 242 / 1900.
