- the Union Jack occupying the upper quarter next the staff;
- the fly is to be wholly blue, in line with the British Blue Ensign;
- the State Badge is to be situated with its centre halfway between the edge of the canton and the end of the fly, and a third of the distance from the bottom of the flag;
