Political Department, who came to Aden to act as Political

acting as Resident during the absence of Sir Bernard
Reilly. During the first 2£ months of his time in Aden,
Captain Sinclair understudied Colonel Lake, while during
the remainder of the time he actually filled the post of
Political Secretary. The problem of the incidence of
his pay while in Aden gave rise to much interdepartmental
discussion. But eventually agreement was reached with
the Colonial Office on the lines set out in the
Colonial Office letter of the 12th September on
P.L. 6456/35. By this settlement, h.M.G. were to pay
at the rate of: -
