it is clear that the Montserrat Government is in no position to meet this expense (the FCO already "tops-up" the Governor's salary by over £10,000 p.a.), I should be grateful for your authority exceptionally to pay Mr Dale outfit and climatic clothing allowances equivalent to those payable to a DS officer of similar grade in the same circumstances, the charge to fall on Class II Vote 1 subhead C3(4)(d). No supplementary provision would be required, substantial savings having already been made in the current financial year mainly because of slippage in postings.
