Mr. SCURR

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is the basis of computation in respect of the foreign allowance of £10,185 paid to the High Commissioner in Egypt in addition to a salary of £2,000 a year with house?

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

The allowance paid to the High Commissioner in Egypt is based on the amount which has been found necessary to meet the expenditure incidental to the maintenance of his representative position.
