Sir
/
I am directed by Mr. Secretary Eden to transmit
herewith to be laid before the Secretary of State
for India a copy of a despatch and enclosure from
His Majesty* s Minister at Tehran regarding the
emoluments of the clerical staff of His Majesty’s
Legation.
2. Existing emoluments are based on a rate of
exchange of 120 Rials to £1 and a currency cost of
living figure of 138 as compared with the present rate
of 140 Rials to £1 and the last published currency
cost of living figure of 209.5, and Sir Reader Bullard
accordingly recommends increases of 20 % of the
emoluments of married employees and IQfc in the case
of unmarried employees.
3. It is not considered that in present
circumstances such increases can be justified but on
the other hand it seems clear that existing-Emoluments
are inadequate.
4. I am accordingly to request that the Secretary
of State for India may be moved to sanction increases
of £25 per annum each to the clerical staff and temporary
secretaries with effect from 1st October last, subject
to review in the event of an appreciable alteration in
the sterling cost of living.
i
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant
The Under-Secretary of State
India Office.
