Dear Grist,
I should be grateful if you could help us on the
following point. The British Council have an Overseas
Service Pension Scheme - on contributory lines - which
provides for higher contributions by the Council in
respect of periods of service in unhealthy places.
Treasury consent is required for treating any country or
place as unhealthy for this purpose.
As you know, there are a number of places which have
already been officially declared unhealthy for the
purpose of the Superannuation Act 1876 , and no difficulty
will arise as regards any of these places (see list on
pages 26 to 28 of the Pension Digest, 1937 ). As regards
other places we had contemplated consulting Foreign
Office or Colonial Office if the Council wanted to treat
as unhealthy any place not on our list. We have now
received via the Foreign Office (who make no observations
of their own) a request from the Council to declare
Bahrein unhealthy; the Council say they observe that
Bushire has been "stigmatised" as unhealthy, but think
that there is little or nothing to choose between the
climate there and that at Bahrein. We understand that
the

is the only Department with information
as to Bahrein and should be grateful for any advice on
the point you can give us.
I should add that in considering applications to
schedule a place as unhealthy we regard sanitation as
more important than the climate itself. The nearest
place to Bahrein in our list is Bushire, which the
Council have grayed in aid of their request, and prima
facie from such information as we have been able to
gather from the Encyclopaedia Britannica (1910 edition)
we rather doubt whether Bahrein is as bad and whether it
is necessary to give unhealthy climate terms for service
there.
