TRAVELLING TIME
2.005 Travelling Time is designed primarily to ensure that Service personnel do not spend an inordinate amount of their leave entitlement in travelling to their home address. It might be appropriate, for example, to grant Travelling Time to an individual who was serving in the South of England and whose family resided in the Outer Isles of Scotland. On the other hand, it would be inappropriate to grant Travelling Time to an individual serving with his family in the South of England who decided to visit the Outer Isles of Scotland as part of a touring holiday.
2.006 Travelling Time may also be utilised to compensate Service personnel serving at remote locations for the amount of time necessarily spent travelling in taking leave. For those taking sea journeys, for example, the leave period could be allowed to reckon from the day of arrival on the mainland on the outward journey to the day of departure from the mainland on the return journey.
2.007 Travelling Time may be authorised at the discretion of COs. It should not exceed 2 days in any one period of authorised absence.
