Admiralty Order in Council No. 164.

11h February 1907.

A.G.

Whereas under the Regulations for the Government of Your Majesty's Naval Service, Command Money at the rate of 3s. 9d. a day is only payable to an officer in actual command of a ship :

And whereas we consider that an allowance at this rate should be paid to the officer, being a Commander or a Lieutenant, appointed for general command of a Submarine Flotilla, although he is not in command of any individual ship :

We beg leave humbly to recommend that Your Majesty may be graciously pleased by Your Order in Council to sanction payment of Command Money at the rate of three shillings and ninepence a day to any officer appointed for general command of a Submarine Flotilla, with retrospective effect in the case of Portsmouth to the 1st January 1906.

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

N.P. 631 / 07.
