The flag at present flown by the Political
Resident and the Political Agents is the Union Viceroy. In
future I consider that 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. should fly the
Union with the Royal Arms as is prescribed for His Majesty’s
Diplomatic Servants, Ministers Plenipotentiary, etc. and
the Political Agents the flags prescribed for His Majesty’s
Consular Officers.
E. POLITICAL RESIDENT’S APPiiLATIOH OF "HCNOURABLS" .
This appellation is prescribed by the Government
of India for Members of Council and First-Class Residents.
I think I am right in saying that no such appellation is
allowed for under Foreign Office rules though I think i t is
enjoyed by some high officials in the Colonies. I do not
think any harm will be done if the appellation is dropped in
the case of 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. but he should continue
to be referred to as "Fakhamat"* "His Honour" in Arabic

F. UNIFORM .
At present 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. wears Class III
diplomatic uniform, the Political Agents Class IV and others
Class V. I would suggest that officers of the Indian
Political Service who continue to serve in the Gulf and
already possess the civil uniforms prescribed should be
allowed to continue to wear them. If 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.
is given the status of Minister he could be permitted at his
discretion to put up the additional gold braid.
Of the matters discussed above the only one on
which a more or less immediate decision is required is that
of flags, as Ido not think the Union Viceroy should continue
to be flown after 1st April, 1948, and steps ought to be
taken now to obtain the new type of flag which has t o be
flown in its place.
PERSIAN GUIF 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. ,
