A.G. Memo. No.14.
COMMITTEE FOR CLAIMS FROM SMALL CRAFT
EMPLOYED IN THE DUNKIRK EVACUATION.
The following instructions are issued to all Sections of A.G's Department,
Any question arising from them should be referred to Mr. Wand, Room 8015.
VESSELS RETAINED ON SERVICE.
In a number of cases vessels which were taken up for Dunkirk without being
formally requisitioned are still held at Government disposal and are being
subsequently requisitioned for another naval service. The requisition will
be ante-dated to the first day relating to the Dunkirk service,
Claims in respect of those vessels which remain on service should be dealt
with in the ordinary way by A.G.3.D. In some cases, for reason of the lack of
inventory and On-Survey, they may need special reference to Mr. Wand for the
Committee to decide on a settlement of the preliminary expenses (fuel, stores,
etc.).
VESSELS RELEASED AFTER DUNKIRK.
(a) Sundry Expenses.
1. In cases of urgent need brought personally to Headquarters,
expenses are to be paid out of a cash imprest held by the Cashier.
These are certified by Mr. A.L. Moore and brought to account by A.G.I.
When they concern particular vessels they should be referred to Mr. Wand
for record in vessels' papers.
2. Local payments by S.T.O's of fuel, stores, wages, etc. and
recorded in their cash accounts are to be brought to account by A.G.2,
after reference to Mr. Wand for records in vessels' papers.
3. Accounts received through the post for incidental expenses
unrelated to particular vessels (fuel, stores, travelling expenses, etc.)
are to be referred to Mr. Wand for certification and records, as
necessary, and then to be passed to A.G.1. for payment.
4. Accounts for out-of-pocket expenses received by post may, if
necessary, be dealt with out of hand on general lines by Mr. Wand on
the certification of Mr. Moore, leaving the question of compensation to
be dealt with by the Committee.
(b) Compensation.
All questions of hire or compensation for loss or damage will be
dealt with by the Committee. This includes all claims for stores and
gear on hand when taken over in respect of which no inventory was taken.
