(XS03/34(13A3))
8th March, 1948.
Pjar Balghton,
Please refer to Blliman’s letter IP.140/03 of
21st July# 1947 to Fisher concerning the emoluments
of contract staff in the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. .
As you i^ready know, Caccia and Noble have recently
visited the Gulf, and we have now heard from Noble
about the loreign allowances, lie states that the present
allowances, which were as you know assessed by reference
to the officers emoluments itfien serving in the Indian
Political Service, are in the main generous by Foreign
Office standards, and it seems possible that Foreign
Service officer 8 sent out in future to fill these posts
would not need so much; in only one case, that of Hudson,
A.P.A., Bahrain, is an increase recoimieuded. Details
of the calculation of the revised allowance for Hudson
are attached, and I shall be glad if you will sanction
a basic fox>elgn allowance of £1,100 in place of ths
combined personal allowance (£730) and language allowance
(£90) totalling £840 per annum previously authorised,
the new alio ance to be effective from the date of
Hudsons arrival at the post early in January.
You recently gave authority to the Contnonwealth
Relations Office to pay provisional foreign allowances
of £500 per annum to Stobart and Andrew, the two
seconded A 8 officers. As these officers did not arrive
at the post until 29th Deoenfcer, they were unable to
produce accurate budgets. Noble has, however, worked
out a theoretical budget by reference to other figures,
and he recommends an allowance of £650 per annum in each
case from the date of arrival. Details are attached.
Noble is of the opinion that the Gulf is, subject to
oertaiiy'
