Thanlcs for your letter Ext. 1556/47 of 26th July
about leave arrangements for ex-I.P.S. officers who
accept contracts for service with H.M.G..
I think it reasonable that officers now on leave
in this country under Government of India rules should
be allowed to take a reasonable amount of leave before
taking up their contract posts. What can be regarded
as ’’reasonable’' is difficult to find and Hay will have
to help us in that as the administration of the Gulf
must carry on. He might however be prepared to agree
to two months leave with a maximum of three months.
The other case (i.e. officers now in the Gulf
but equally entitled to leave under Government of India
rules) is unfortunately harder to deal with.
Undoubtedly there is a case in equity and in our own
interests (health and efficiency) for parallel treat
ment. On the other hand, we would have to consider
the effect on the continued administration of the
Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. which is our primary concern. The
proposal that these officers should interrupt their
contracts (during which time they would, of course, get
no pay or allowances or any travelling expenses) would
mean in effect that we may have to find leave reserves
for them for that period and also for their leave they
earn under their proposed contracts. It will also
mean that all contracts will expire at the same time
whereas there is some advantage in their expiring over
a period of say six months. I should be glad if you
would/
