FOREIGN OFFICE, 3. .7. 1.
5th October, 1949
Dear Agency,
Please refer to your letter F. 81/1/80 of 4th September on
the subject of Messrs. Kaddo and Mohsin. These employees were
included in the list of staff submitted with Residency letter
No. 127/2/49 of 31st January for whom revised conditions of
service were approved with effect from 1st April 1949 (Netting’s
letter XS03/91(5/49) of 4th April to Dredge refers). These
conditions included one month’s leave per annum on full pay and
allowances.' Normal Foreign Office rules do not permit locally
engaged staff to accumulate leave i.e. to carry forward from one
year to another, but in special circumstances we are prepared to
leave this to the discretTohbdf the head of the post. So far as the
period prior to 31st March 1949 is concerned it should be noted that
His Majesty’s Government took over responsibility for the posts in
the Gulf with ef 'ect from 15thAu£Ust 1947, administration being in
the hands of the Commonwealth Relations Office up to 31st March
1946, after which date the Foreign Office assumed responsibility.
It was agreed at the time of the transfer of pov/er that temporary
staff employed in the Gulf who were taken over by His Majesty’s
Government should retain their existing conditions of service. It
follows therefore that from the period 15th August 1947 to 31st
March 1 949 Kaddo and Mohsin were entitled to leave at the rates
they enjoyed while in Government of India service. Insofar as these
employees have been unable to take the leave due to them owing
to the exigencies of the service, you may allow them to take the
accumulated leave at the first available opportunity. We cannot
authorise payment in lieu of leave.
We do not feel that we should at this stage contemplate
the part of leave earned during Government of India service - we
think it extremely unlikely that the former employers would agree
to accept liability for this. It maybe however that a precedent
has been established in similar cases where employees had leave
’credits’ at the time of the transfer, and you vill have to be
guided by this.
One further point we would like to mention concerns
Kaddo’s pay. The revised emoluments approved for him with effect
from 1st April 1949 arei
