2.1.5 The volume of the internal buoyancy appliances of a motor lifeboat shall be increased above that required by paragraph 1.1.7 of this Appendix by the amount, if any, by which the volume of the internal buoyancy appliances required to support the engine and its accessories, and, if fitted, the searchlight and radiotelegraph installation and their accessories, exceeds the volume of the internal buoyancy appliances required, at the rate of 0.0283 cubic metres per person, to support the additional persons which the lifeboat could accommodate if the motor and its accessories, and, if fitted, the searchlight and radiotelegraph installation and their accessories, were removed.

2.1.6 The radio installation required by Regulation 137 shall be installed in a cabin large enough to accommodate both the equipment and the person using it.
