in the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. No. 655. dated the 17th May 1940,(copy enclosed
with the letter fromThe Government of India in the External Affairs
Department No. F.19(11)-E/4Q, dated the 7th May 1941) that the
revised pension rules were intended to apply to members of the
clerical cadre who have to spend their whole service in the Persian
Gulf area, and only the I.P.3. Officers who were not permanently
posted there were to be excluded. As the ministerial gazetted
officers come from the ssme clerical cadre and put in tneir entire
service in the Gulf, it is reasonable to give them the benefit of
the revised pension rules. The Government of India are also opposed
to differentiation between members of the clerical cadre and those
of the Public Works Department as the latter have to serve under
similar conditions.

Government to -the proposed amplification be obtained and communi
cated to the Government of India as early as possible. K.B. Maqbul
