Content

This file relates to the procedure for the deportation of persons to and from the Hejaz, particularly British subjects and British-protected persons. The file includes copies of Foreign Office correspondence, as well as copies of Government of India correspondence. Correspondents include the following: the British Minister at Jedda (Sir Andrew Ryan); His Majesty's Chargé d’Affaires, Jedda (Cecil Gervase Hope Gill); the Deputy Secretary to the Government of India's Foreign and Political Department; the Foreign Secretary to the Government of India; the Hejazi Minister for Foreign Affairs [Fayṣal bin ‘Abd al-‘Azīz Āl Sa‘ūd]; officials of the Colonial Office and Foreign Office.

Matters discussed include the question of whether a local government should be required to verify a person's nationality before deporting that person to another country, and the question of which government should bear the cost of a person's deportation.
