British Legation,
Tehran,
October Slst, 1925.
Sir,
I have the honour to transmit to you herewith a copy
of Bushire
Residency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
Despatch No.50/243/S of July 16th
replying thereto, No.94 of even date.
2, I have received lately several complaints about
the obstruction made by the Persian Government officials in
Mohammerah and Basrah as regards according visas to Bahreinis,
holders of British passports. The reason for"these
obstructive methods appear to be that the persons in question
are claimed as Persian subjects owing to their prolonged
domicile in Persia but underlying whatever contention is made,
probably the real reason is Persian unwillingness to recognise
specifically the right of Bahreinis to hold British passports.
3. In any case Bahreinis have been finding their
freedom of travel between ports in the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
consider
ably hampered, therefore the proposal that the Minister for
Foreign Affairs has made that henceforth Bahreinis will be
allowed to travel on a form of identity paper, appears to me
to be an acceptable compromise which, v/hile leaving the
fundamental question of their status alone, will permit them
a freedom of movement which latterly they have not ertfoyed.
I have the honour to be with the highest respect.
together with enclosures, as also a copy of my Despatch
etc.,
Sd. Percy Loraine.
The Rt. Hon.
Austen Chamberlain, M.P.,
Foreign Office
