(2) Allotment of quarters. Quarters may be

allotted to any officer singly or with others, in the

absolute discretion of the Government, but officers for

whom a sum in lieu of rent, and not a percentage of such sum, is prescribed in paragraph (6) (b) shall be preferred

to others. The relativ atus of officers and the

convenience of officers on their dependents will be taken into account in the allotment of quarters, and normally one tenement will not be allotted to more than one officer with dependents while they are actually residing with him there; but no other officer shall have any claim to the sole occupancy of any tenement, nor shall anything prevent the allotment, cancellation thereof and reallotment of quarters for any period, however short, as may at any

tie seem best in the interests of the service.

(3) Subletting, etc., prohibited. Under no circumstances shall any officer, while occupying premises allotted to him as quarters or for which he draws rent

allowance

(i) let, hire out or sublet the premises or any

part of the premises, or

(ii) except with the permission of the Colonial

Secretary take any paying quest.

(4) Sharing premises.

(a) Rent for quarters

shared by two or more officers shall be equal to the highest such rent payable by any one of them or, if the emoluments of one or more of the officers include free quarters, then half that rent, and shall be paid only by the officer on whose salary it is calculated.
