"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have not disowned this letter. We cannot disown the contents. The letter says: \"It has become necessary---\". Then it says: \"Adjust the salaries of serving Ambassadors\" without taking into account other Ambassadors. Then it says: \"You are requested---\". We have acted on this letter by writing back and explaining that what has been requested can only be done in a certain manner. We have carried out a rationalisation programme. This implementation would have meant that you will go to a mission and find an ambassador or a High Commissioner earning three or four times higher than his immediate deputy. This is unacceptable. We have to deal with issues knowing that we are administering human beings who have feelings and who must work together. They must work as a team and should not have visible gaps between them, so that they can work and function properly. In any event, rules of this House require that when hon. members raise Questions and issues should declare their interests. I am constrained to ask my colleague, Amb. Affey, to declare his interest in this matter."
