BRITISH LEGATION,

October 7th, 1939.
Dear Baxter, / ft *
Foreign Office printed despatch No. 244 (E5843/53/91)
dated September 5th transmits for our observations copies of
correspondence relating to the Bahrein lav/ on the ownership
of land by foreigners.
2. I reported on this question in my des-oatch of June
^ tn
12th, 1957, No. 113 (928/227/4). No person not a Saudi
subject is allowed to own real property in the Hejaz, but
tixe^e is no restriction on the ownership of real property
in other parts o.i Saudi Arabia. No complaint has ever
been raised by a Bahraini in the Hejaz on thi-s score, and
it appears probable that no person claiming Bahraini
nationality is domiciled in the Hejaz. According to a
letter addressed by the
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
Bushire to the
s fa* 11+ %
Government of India on August 3rd, 1937, no Bahrain subjects
are known to own real property in Saudi Arabia. It will
be seen, then, that the disability of the foreigner to own
land in Saudi Arabia only applies to part of Saudi Arabia,
that apparently no Bahraini owns real property in those parts
of Saudi Arabia where there is no restriction on ownership
by foreigners, and that no Bahraini has a practical
grievance on this account at present.
3. In view of the state of affairs described above, and
of the necessity to maintain good relations with Ibn Saud
at this difficult time, I endorse heartily the opinion
^ expressed/
Baxter, Esq., C.M. G ., M.C.,
