HC Deb 10 August 1893 vol 15 c1775
COLONEL LOCKWOOD

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if any conclusion has been arrived at as to the extra allowance of £100 for Third Secretaries in the Diplomatic Service?

* SIR E. GREY

Pending the settlement of the new arrangement, Third Secretaries will be permitted, if they pass the examination in International Law, to draw the extra allowance of £100 as formerly.

COLONEL LOCKWOOD

Will the extra allowance date from now, or from the commencement of the year?

* SIR E. GREY

It will operate in this way. Anyone entitled to apply for it, but not having applied for it during the last few months, will be enabled to apply now.
