MEMORANDUM;-
I would invite your reference to the Monthly Trade Statistical
Reports which are submitted to yourseli' from this Department.
This reports covers in general all the imports upon which
customs duty is levied, except Pearls and specie. But it does not
include the value of the imports of Plant, machinery, lind stores by
The Bahrain Petroleum Coy Ltd, which are duty free. It was thought
that to include these values, which relate to imports under a special
concession, would create total values which would not reflect accurately
the value of the 'trade of Bahrain',
From another point of view, however, it might be thought
desirable to be informed the value of this Company's imports; and
therefore I should be glad to have an expression of your opinion
as to the desirability or otherwise of including such values in
the Trade Report, please,
*
