salary exceeds £900 but does not exceed £1200 per annum, $200 per
mensem.

salary exceeds £600 but does not exceed £900 per annum, $175 per
mensem.

No rent allowance will ordinarily be granted to an Officer on probation or agreement, who was unmarried at date of
appointment, if he marries while he remains on probation, or agreement.
