Dear
Residency

,
With reference to your letter No.393/2/30
of the 13th February regarding the Civil Air Agreement with
Sharjah, Treasury authority has now been obtained for the
increase of the pay for the guards provided at the expense
of the Ministry of Civil Aviation to a maximum of 100
rupees
Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf.
p^r month for the head guards, and 80
rupees
Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf.
per month for
the other guards. The Air Ministry have agreed that these
higher rates shall also be granted to the guards on the
Royal Air Force site.
2. We consider, however, that it would be
advisable for the signature of the agreement to be held up
until it is possible to include therein the two additional
paragraphs which are now under consideration; and if you see
no objection we shall be glad if you will defer signing until
the wording of those paragraphs has been agreed. We are at
present discussing your recent comments on them with the
Ministry of Civil Aviation, and we will write to you again
as soon as a decision has been reached.
3. You should know that the iinistry of Civil
^viation have decided to curtail to some extent the facil
ities at present provi ed at oharjah, but we understand that
the changes made will be comparatively minor on s. ie do not
think it will be necessary for you to mention this to the
Shaikh until the time for signature arrives; and then, we
consider, a statement on the following lines will uieet the
case: ’we are engaged on a revsion of facilities at oharjah;
we recognise our obligation to provide facilities to meet
local civil aviation need; we ure not proposing to cater for
aircraft which are proceeding through Sharjah in transit and
merely using the aerodrome as a convenience".
Yours ever
