Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation sets the annual salary for a specific senior military lawyer.

What it does:

Inserts a new rule into the Military Financial Regulations stating that the Deputy Judge Advocate-General (the second-most senior legal officer in the armed forces) receives a fixed salary of £850 per year (in pre-decimal currency)
Makes this pay rate apply retrospectively to the financial year ending June 1961, as well as all future years

Who it affects: Directly impacts only the individual holding the appointment of Deputy Judge Advocate-General. The Department of Defence must ensure this specific rate is paid.

Why it matters: Clarifies the remuneration for this senior legal position and ensures any work performed during the 1960–61 financial year is properly compensated at the new rate.
