My dear Laithwaite,

May I refer to Warner's letter E,4794/156/91
of the 29th August, dealing with the Qatar oil concession
2. In view of the difficulties which have arisen,
we have thought it desirable to attempt to expound more
fully what the Admiralty had in mind when our official
letter M.02064/33, dated 14th August, was written.
3. In the case of Bahrein, it was proposed that the
following clauses which now appear in the concession
should be perpetuated in the Mi ning Lease:-
(1) The Assignee Company is to be registered
in Great Britain or Canada.
(2) The Company's office in Great Britain is
to be in charge of a British subject.
(3) One director of the Assignee Company is
to be persona grata to H .M. Government.
(4) The local representative is to be approved
by H.M. Government.
(5) As many employees of the Assignee Company
as possible are to be British, or subjects
of the Sheikh of Bahrein.
In addition we proposed that the lessees should enter
into certain covenants based on the Model Mining Lease;
in brief, they should erect a refinery and that the
Sheikh should have rights to pre-empt the oil and take
control of the works, etc., in war.
4. With regard to Qatar, the Admiralty, recognising
that the concession must be assigned to the Iraq
Petroleum/
