§ Mr. W. J. Brownasked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether in view of the existing ban on 757W travel abroad which applies to Government officials unless their business is of immediate urgency, and as this ban will operate in the case of the Director of the Overseas Division, he will consider withdrawing the special allowance granted to a principal officer in his Department, in view of the fact that the allowance was given to compensate this principal officer for deputising for the Director of the Overseas Division on the occasions when the latter officer would be out of the country.
§ Mr. JohnstoneThe ban on travel will not be permanent and therefore provides no grounds for interfering with the existing arrangement.
