3rd January 1928, amon^ other proposals, reguested the Govern ment of
India to accord their sanction to the creation of a leave and txxiHting
training reserve of 4 clerks. Though Sir L. Haworth at the time admitted
that this number, which was in excess of 10% of the total strength,
was slightly higher than the normal percentage, he pointed out that the
increase was justified owing to the greater aistances the men had to
travel to their homes and the fact that their leave did not commence
until after their arrival in Karachi which necessarily made their periods
of absence from duty longer. That the Government of India agreed with
this view is indicated by the fact that they accorded their sanction
to the establishment of a leave reserve of two Upper Di

from time to time been necessary to obtain the sanction of the Govern
ment of India, the total strength of the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. clerical cadre,
excluding the East Persia cadre, for which separate arrangements are
made has arisen from 59 to 46, and, in consequence, though it has i been
acknowledged in principle that the percentage of leave reserves should
be in excess of 10% it is now less than 9%. In spite, therefore, of the
fact that the clerks of this 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. are deprived of that boon to
Indian Agencies, casual leave, (which is valueless in consequence of
their service aoroad where they have no family ties) and have to add
their period of leave at least one month's joining time to cover the
period*spent in travelling to and from Karachi ? the strength of leave
reserves*sanctioned for this 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. is considerably less than that
sanctioned for Indian iAgencies such as Rajputana. In consequence,
assuming the average period of leave to be four months, plus one month's
joining time, it is not possible to grant the clerks or this 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.
leave more than once in every four years -- a period, which, taking into
consideration the climate of the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. and the fact that the men
are serving far from their homes in a foreign country, cannot but be
regarded as excessive. In order, therefore, that the clerks of this
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. may be able to avail themselves of leave at least once in
every three years, which for reasons of health and efficiency, I
consider to oe a minimum, I would strongly recommend for the considera
tion of the Government of India tnat the total number of leave reserves
sanctioned for this 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. may be raised by two Lower Division leave
