1. Please refer to my circular Letter of 3 October 1978, in which I said that we were looking into certain aspects of your terms of service. I am sorry it has taken so long to follow up the various replies that we received. In the event, it proved harder than we had expected to obtain the CSD's agreement to what we wanted to do. But I am glad to say that they have now agreed that HMG should assume financial responsibility for your UK Leave passages.
2. In future, the FCO will bear the cost of first class fares by the approved route for you and any other members of your household who travelled to your post at FCO expense, at intervals of 18 months from the date when you first arrived in the territory. The cost of any journeys taken after 1 August 1979 may be reclaimed, provided they took place after the appropriate interval had elapsed. Να subsistence is payable for leave journeys, but you may submit claims for incidental expenses incurred en route (airport taxes, porterage, rail/bus journeys between the airport and your leave destination in the UK etc). You may also claim for up to 20 kgs of unaccompanied airfreight in addition to normal airlines Luggage allowance.
3. An amendment to Colonial Regulations will be issued in due course.
