Finance Committ ee.^
In our annual claim on the Foreign Office in
respect of diplomatic and consular expenditure in
Persia we include a sum in respect of Indian leave
and pension of our establishments serving in Persia.
The grant of the present concession which is in acc
ordance with various precedents and will no doubt
give pleasure to the Foreign Office (vide their let
ter of 28. December last) entails some special ex-
penditure, a moiety of which is properly chargeable
to the Foreign Office. As the precedents clearly
justify the concession it is not necessary, I think,
to consult the Foreign Office beforehand, but when
the Despatch has gone( query, an eight word telegram
would arrive a fortnight sooner and cost little more)
we might write to the Foreign Office telling them what
has been done and why and asking them to agree to the
Government of India including in a future annual claim
a rough estimate (nothing more can be attempted) of
the extra cost of the concession. I suggest a re
commendation to this effect.
