HC Deb 19 May 1947 vol 437 c197W
7. Mr. H. Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what allowances, rations, perquisites or other additions to salary are received by members of the British Embassy staffs in Paris and Brussels.

Mr. Mayhew

Members of the senior branch of the Foreign Service receive allowances ranging in the case of Paris between £I,000 and £2,300 a year and, in the case of Brussels, between £885 and £1,545 a year, plus furnished rent allowances. The allowances assigned to the other members of the staff are, in the main, on an inclusive basis and vary between £175 and £1,400 a year according to rank and status. British Army rations and N.A.A.F.I. facilities are available to members of the staff of both embassies on repayment terms. In the case of Brussels this only applies to certain items of Army rations.
