HC Deb 07 July 1947 vol 439 c1776
18. Wing-Commander Hulbert

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he has now received any recommendations in regard to pay and allowances to members of his Department serving in South American countries.

Mr. Mayhew

Salaries are fixed according to the grade of the officer. As regards allowances, I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply given on 12th March. Our touring inspectors have since sent in further recommendations for the adjustment of foreign allowances. Some have been implemented, and others are under consideration.

Wing-Commander Hulbert

Is it not a fact that a report was received after a tour of inspection rather more than six months ago; and has that report been acted upon?

Mr. Mayhew

This is a continuous process. Some of the recommendations have been acted upon, but others are still under consideration.
