(2) An increase of £lO in respect of each completed year (up to four) of permanent service at the age of 21 of thereafter, i.e.:— (a) £165 per annum at th e age of 21 if completed one year’s permanent , service or on completion of one year’s permanent service if beyond the age of 21. (b) £175 per annum at the age of 21 if completed two years’ permanent service or on completion of two years’ permanent service if beyond the age of 21. (c) £lB5 per annum at the age of 21 if completed thre e years’ permanent service or on completion of three years’ permanent service if beyond the age of 21. (a) £195 per annum at the age of 21 if completed four years’ permanent service or on completion of four years’ permanent servic e if beyond the age of 21. (3) £2OO per annum at the age of 21 if completed five years’ permanent service or on completion of five years’ permanent service if beyond the age of 21.

In the case of cadets and other junior officers who are in receipt of lodging allowance and to whom the above applies, payment of lodging allowance will cease.
