17.4.1 Travel during an ordinary recess

Although travel during an 'ordinary recess' is apparently excluded by S6(1)(b)(ii), that provision contradicts the accepted interpretation of S6(1)(b)(i).

It is RCG policy to follow the requirements of S6(1)(b)(i) in preference to (b)(ii) in cases where they conflict, i.e. where a member is injured on the journey home for lunch.
