THE
RESIDENCY
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
,
ADEN, 13th December, 1933.
Sir,
I have the honour to refer to my despatch
No. 274 of the 15th November 1933, regarding tne
estimate of the cost of the Mission to San*a.
2. I informed you therein that the provision
made for daily allowances to the members of the
Mission had been based on, or on the analogy of Indian
rates, and the allowance proposed for the British
Officer, Aden Protectorate Levies, (item I), at
Rs.4/- per diem was calculated on that basis.
3. It has since been ascertained that the
detention allowance for this officer, calculated on
Air Ministry rates such as are allowed to R.A.E.
Intelligence Officer of equivalent rank who tour in
the Aden Protectorate, would approximate to Rs. 13/-
per diem; and in these circumstances I propose, subject
to your approval, to grant to him, by way of compromise,
a daily allowance of Rs.7/8- per diem during the period
of his special duty with the Mission.
I have, etc.,
(Sgd .) B.R. Reilly.
Resident, etc.
No. 300.
His Majesty’s Secretary of State
for the Colonies, London .
