INDIA OFFICE The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. ,
MAIL.
/HITEHALL, S.v7. 1.
3rd April 1936.
Will you please refer to your Express Letter of 6th
December, No.943^ of 1935, about the proposed Bahrein
Nationality Law, and my subsequent exchange of letters
with Brenan at the Foreign Office (copies were sent to
you by the air mails of ^4th January and 9th March).
8* ..e are inclined to agree with the Foreign Office
that the simplest way of giving effect to Loch's proposal
is to add a further sub-clause to Article 2 of the draft
law, and I enclose copies of the draft law as now finally
suggested. As you will see, there are two alternative
texts of the proposed new sub-clause 8(c), and we leave it
to you to choose between them.
3. I also enclose a draft of the proposed Property
Law as it now stands.
4. Would you kindly let us know whether you concur
in the terms of both draft laws or have any further
'on'ble. Lieut.Col. T.C.W. Fowle, C.B.E.,
•3.M s. Consulate General,
Bushire.
