PAYMENT OF HONG KONG NAVAL VOLUNTEER FORCE.
The Hong Kong Government pays all mobilised
officers and ratings of the Hong Kong Naval Volunteer
Force except any who may be lent to "TAMAR" for purely
Naval Service. At present one officer and four ratings
working for Naval Control Service are paid by Admiralty.
Should the Governor at any time mobilise all
the Hong Kong Naval Volunteer Force and offer their
services to the Admiralty it is understood that the
Admiralty would take over the payment of the whole Force.
The Hong Kong Government pays for stores supplied
to "CORNFLOWER" which ship has been lent to them by the
Admiralty.
The Admiralty pays for the hire, upkeep, stores docking and crews (other than a small proportion of minesweeping, signal and telegraphist ratings which belong to the Hong Kong Naval Volunteer Force) of all the A/P
vessels operated by the Hong Kong Naval Volunteer Force.
Admiralty now pay for all personnel of the
Examination Service.
