2. With regard to paragraph (1) of the letter from
the Ministry of Fuel and Power, the Bahr?in Petroleum
Company confirm that the conversion factors stated
therein are approximately correct.
3. tfith regard to paragraph (2), the Company do y .
not normally prepare accounts in a manner to give the
information as requested and, as stated in their letter
No.C/PA.399 of 6th December, 1949 (a copy of, tfnich was
forwarded to you with our letter No.C/R-573'of 11th
December, 1949), to submit such information would entail
additional clerical staff which the Company cannot justify.
Further in this connection, the Company feel that the
figures which the Ministry request, even if they were
readily available, are classified material which they
do not normally publicize and, in addition, such figures
might very possibly be quite misleading unless read in
conjunction with the complete Yield Statement for the
period concerned. In view of this the Company consider
that they can only continue to prepare these reports
in the form now being submitted.
Yours ever.
Agency.
The Political Residency,
Jufair.
