(i) He shall receive full salary from the receiving Territory for the period of the journey to that Territory provided that he proceeds by the cheapest and most direct route.
(ii) Free passages shall be provided by the cheapest and most direct route from the transferring to the receiving Territory for himself, and for his wife and children up to a total of four passages besides his own. Alternatively, if his wife and/or children proceed to the United Kingdom, free passages not exceeding four in all to the United Kingdom will be provided for them. In this event the question whether he should receive any assistance towards the cost of passages for them from the United Kingdom to the receiving Territory shall be governed by the regulations of that Territory.
(iii) The officer shall remain eligible for any vacation leave which he has earned in respect of his service in the transferring Territory, in accordance with Regulation 86 (iv), but such leave shall be deferred.
89. An officer who is transferred from one Territory to another shall also be granted a reasonable allowance for the transport of his heavy baggage (i.e., ordinary household effects other than furniture).
90. Leave deferred under these Regulations shall be granted to the officer at the first convenient opportunity by the Government of the receiving Territory with full salary at the rate which the officer is drawing at the time. Where the Leave Regulations of the receiving Territory limit the amount of leave that can be accumulated, the amount of deferred leave will be so limited and any excess foregone.
91. The expense falling upon public funds in respect of the passages of an officer, his wife and his children under these Regulations shall fall upon the receiving Territory, provided that if the officer and/or his wife proceed via the United Kingdom the Government of the transferring Territory shall contribute towards the cost of the passages for him and/or his wife a sum bearing in each case the same proportion to the full cost of a passage to the United Kingdom as the number of months of resident service which the officer has completed during the tour preceding his transfer from the transferring Territory bears to the minimum term of resident service necessary to qualify him for vacation leave. The allowance for the trans- port of baggage as provided in Regulation 89 will be borne by the receiving Territory.
