(1)

This regulation applies where a member of a police force is—

(a)

required to perform his normal daily period of duty in more than one tour of duty, or

(b)

recalled to duty between two tours of duty,

and travels to and from his home between tours or, as the case may be, in consequence of his recall (in this regulation referred to as “relevant travelling”).

(2)

In computing any period of overtime for the purposes of regulation 28 or any period of duty for the purposes of regulation 29 (save for the purposes of paragraph (9)(f) thereof) the time occupied by such a member in relevant travelling, not exceeding such reasonable limit as may be fixed by the chief officer of police, shall be treated as a period of duty.

(3)

For the purposes of regulation 57, the use of a motor vehicle for relevant travelling shall be treated as such use for the purpose of duties performed by the member concerned.

(4)

Relevant travelling expenses shall be treated as expenses incurred in the execution of duty and, unless they are expenses in respect of which an allowance is payable under these Regulations, the member concerned shall be reimbursed those expenses to the extent that they do not exceed such reasonable limit as the police authority may fix.
