V
of arranging secondment from the National Health Service to medical
posts in the Middle East.
— IV. RECOMMENDATIONS
9* (a) Subject .to the provisos at_(i) and (ii) below, we
should encourage the Middle East Governments to increase the
number of foreign experts employed and to draw on Britain for their
experts •
(i) In Syria and Lebanon we should seek to avoid
offending French susceptibilities;
(ii) In Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia we should go slow
for the time being.
(b) We should press, or continue to press, the Middle East
Governments, in so far as it may seem politic to do so, to grant
attractive terms of service to British experts.
(c) We should explore, or continue to explore, the
possibilities of arranging secondment to posts in the Middle East
from: -
(i) the National Health Service.
(ii) the National Agriculture Advisory Service
(iii) the Universities.
(iv) other appropriate authorities or institutions,
(d) We should decide in principle to subsidise a certain
number of posts in the Middle ^ast. Since it is difficult at this
stage to determine an exact list of such posts (see paragraph 3 above)
we should determine, in consultation with the British Middle East
Office, a sum sufficient to provide for the subsidization of 40
posts for three years. This sum should then be made available to
the British Middle East Office to be allocated at their discretion,
in consultation with the Foreign Office and with His Majesty’s
Missions concerned.
