what we are anxious to have also is the background and the
general conditions of service for these different categories of
staff. We should also be grateful for a brief note from Hay
regarding the pensionability of these categories, retiring ages,
normal number of years’ service and how pension is calculated,
whether allocation can be made to dependents etc..
Provided you see no objection, I should be grateful
therefore if the memorandum with enclosures (referred to in para.
3 above) could be sent either to Bahrein for onward transmission
or direct" personally to each of the posts in question asking
them to supply all the information asked for by the memorandum
as soon as possible. These, together with the information we
hope Hay can supply as regards Bahrein itself and the general
conditions of the service as a whole, will be most useful. . It
may be that a certain number of queries will arise about which
the South and East Persia posts could get elucidation from the
Embassy at Tehran to.whom we are sending a copy of this letter
with the enclosures.
6 . Turning now to the suggestion made by Hay that we
should send out an officer to go into all these problems on the
spot, we agree in principle that this is most desirable although
we think it better first to have the replies from the posts to
the enclosed memorandum and the information from Hay. If we get
this information and can assemble and digest it here first, any
officer we then send out will be able to make a much better job
of it than a man sent out knowing nothing at all about the set
up. Also he should be able to make much quicker progress if he
has some idea of the ground to be covered before he leaves.
7. I am afraid I cannot at the moment answer any of Hay’s

work. All this depends on
the relationship^^? In&*e v wlth H.M.G. and whether or not she
remains in the-commonwealthM All our pensionable appointments
are confined to British subjects: whether Indians or Anglo-
Indians will continue to be British subjects is something which
will emerge at a later date.
8 . In return for Hay’s summary of the regulations for the
I.P.S. in the Gulf we enclose herewith for his information 6
copies of the regulations for ’’Branch A” of the Foreign Service.
I (The*term "Branch A” is explained in the attached memorandum.)
Regulations for "Branch B" of the Foreign Service (i.e. the
executive and clerical staff which we take to be similar to your
Ministerial staff) are not yet ready but will follow closely the
pattern of the Branch A regulations while being rather less
generous on the whole. You will no doubt explain to Hay that
these regulations are applicable only to the established members
of the Service, i.e. to the career men who are entitled to a
pension at the end of their service.
