Admiralty Order in Council No. 110.

11 July 1905.

A.

Whereas by Your Majesty's Order in Council of the 28 March 1903, it was provided that Pensions for Hurts and Wounds of Lieutenants, Engineer Lieutenants, and Carpenter Lieutenants promoted from Commissioned Warrant Officers and Warrant Officers shall be at the same rate and under the same conditions as those granted in the case of Lieutenants of the Royal Navy :

And whereas Articles 2106, 2110, and 2111 of the Regulations for the government of Your Majesty's Naval Service require that claims for Pensions and Gratuities for wounds or injuries shall be preferred within ten years after the date of injury, otherwise they shall not be taken into consideration :

And whereas we are of opinion that the aforesaid regulation is inapplicable to Officers promoted from Commissioned Warrant Officers and Warrant Officers to the ranks of Lieutenant, Engineer Lieutenant, and Carpenter Lieutenant and who were injured before promotion :

We beg leave humbly to recommend that Your Majesty may be graciously pleased by Your Order in Council to exempt these Officers from the application of this regulation.

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