letter PZ 2551/41
of the 12th June concerning the office allowance assigned
to His Majesty^ Consulate-General at Bushire, I am
directed by Mr. Secretary Eden to state, for the
information of the Secretary of State for India, that a
copy of this correspondence has been submitted to the
Lords Commissioners of His Majesty’s Treasury with the
request that Their Lordships may sanction the payment by
His Majesty’s Government of one half of the increased
office allowance expenditure at Bushire which will result
from the increase proposed in the salary of the clerk at
that post.
2. With regard to the question of the financial
responsibility for this post, Mr. Eden is unable to agree
that the fact that the post of the consular clerk was
created by the Foreign Office, and that the clerk’s salary
was raised in 1932 without prior reference to the India
Office, is in any way relevant since the financial
< arrangements relating to the office allowance at His
1 Majesty’s Consulate-General at Bushire were revised in
■“*1934. Mr. Amery’s attention is drawn to the semi
official correspondence concluding with India Of!ice
official letter PZ 6428/34 of the 30th October, 1934.
