25th November, 1947.
Please refer to yoair telegram No» 14312 dated
the 19th November on the subject of the drawal of pay by
officers»
A’ '
2* It would appear from the procedure described
that no advance can be drawn for the iriiird month of each
quarter. When I was at home I understood that the Foreign
Office practice was to allow a larger advance to be drawn
in the third month of each quarter than in the two pre»
ceding months. The cost of living and of entertaining here
is very high and I do not thihfc an advance of 12 percent
only in each quarter will be sufficient to meet it# Further
under the Foreign Office system all travelling expenses have
to be met by the officer out of his pay and recovered later
when his quarterly account is settled wnich may involve
in some cases a delay of several months. In the circum
stances I would request that sanction may be accorded for
officers to draw not less than 6 per cent of their annual
emoluments in the third month of each quarter#
