approved, and is now incorporated in the agreement,
5. Colonel Irideaux regrets that he cannot permit Mr.
Belgrave to accumulate his privilege leave to the extent sug-
t
gested by you. The intention underlying the grant of one
month's leave each year was that the officer should retain his
. health by taking leave each year to ensure his getting a change
of air and climate. The Political Resident A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency. is, however, pre -
pared to allow Mr. Belgrave to accumulate such leave up to two
months, to enable him to spend it in the Lebanons, if he so
wishes, he cannot agree to it being taken with furlough, and
wished me to point out that this is contrary to the Indian
leave rules, for,' when leave on average pay was introduced,
privilege leave was abolished.
