Sir,
With reference to correspondence ending vrith 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. memorandum Jo. 762 dated the 30th march 1929, I
have the honour to report that the members of my clerical
staff have now petitioned me for the grant to them of a
Customs Compensatory allowance on account of the ennanced
Customs tariff which has increased the cost of living and
made their conditions of service more difficult.
The need for improving the conditions of service of
the clerical establishment in tne Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. was fully
argued by Sir Lionel nawortn in nis letter ^o. 5-64/149, dated
the 3rd January 1928 with which he submitted nis revision
proposals. Those proposals, however, were based on the 1920
tariff and did not anticipate tne present rise in the cost
of living, neither did the recommendation for Gulf allowance
which I urged as a temporary measure to meet the much needed
relief take into account the additional hardship imposed on
those serving in Persia by the new tariff.
This tariff has created a local disadvantage which
calls for special relief quite apart from the benefits
resulting from the general revision of pay or the grant of
