ANNUAL EXPENSES
6.
Governors are requested to supply the FCO with an annual
statement of the normal expenses to which they are put in
respect of such items as the maintenance of Government House
and grounds, lighting, furniture etc and of the various
amounts, in addition to the Governor's personal emoluments,
which are available from public funds to meet these
expenses. This information is not only helpful to the FCO
when briefing Governors-designate but also in FCO efforts to
improve general conditions of service and standards of
accommodation. It must, however, be emphasised that up-keep
of Government House is the responsibility of the local
Government, though a territory in receipt of Budgetary Aid
would be eligible to receive a special and additonal grant
for expenditure on Government House.
SALARY AND ALLOWANCES
Details of emoluments will be explained to
Governors-designate on an individual and personal basis by
the Personnel Operations Department.

CUSTOMS DUTIES
In some Dependent Territories the Governor is exempted from
customs duty on goods imported by him for use at Government
House. In others he receives a special allowance in lieu of
exemption.
