24.—(1) Where the cost of removal is paid or reimbursed by the Chief Constable under regulation 22 or 23, the Chief Constable shall, subject to paragraph (2), pay the police trainee an allowance in respect of expenditure incidental to the move of an amount determined under paragraphs (3) to (5).
(2) An allowance under paragraph (1)—
(a)shall not be payable where a person who has never been married moves from furnished accommodation;
(b)shall only be payable if the Chief Constable so decides, where a person moves from unfurnished into furnished accommodation.
(3) In the case of a person who—
(a)moves into furnished accommodation; or
(b)moves into unfurnished accommodation but has not previously lived in such accommodation while a police trainee or while serving in any police force which he left to become a police trainee,
the allowance shall be such amount as may be determined by the Secretary of State.
(4) In the case of any other person, the allowance—
(a)shall not exceed such maximum amount as may be determined by the Secretary of State; and
(b)shall not be less than such minimum amount as may be determined by the Secretary of State,
but, subject to that, shall equal the aggregate of the amount of the expenditure incidental to the move reasonably incurred by that person and the amount of any relevant additional expenditure.
(5) In paragraph (4) “relevant additional expenditure” means, where a person satisfies the Chief Constable that, in consequence of the move, he has failed to benefit, in whole or in part, from expenditure reasonably incurred by him prior to the move (other than such payments as are referred to in regulation 22(2)(b) or 23(2)(b)), so much of that expenditure as is not recoverable by him.
