Would you please refer to your
letter iC*30 dated 7th October 1946
about telegraphic coiojiunications in
Qatar?
In the light of the discussion
at the meeting on October 15th, we feel
that it w ill probably be best to let the
proposal lie dormant for the time being,
on the as.-umption that Cable <& .ircless
are not particularly anxious to take it
up at the moment. The need for a post
and telegraph office in Qatar will,
however, arise in due course from the
point of view of the general public.

- Content
This file contains correspondence between British officials regarding the possibility of establishing a telegraphic office in Doha as per the stipulations of the 1916 treaty signed between Britain and Qatar. Contrary to what the title of the file implies, Dubai is only mentioned in passing and Doha is very much the focus of the correspondence.
The file contains a draft of an agreement between Cable and Wireless Limited and the ruler of Qatar, Shaikh Ali bin Abdullah Al Thani for the establishment of a telegraphic office in Doha that was proposed in 1950 (folios 37-40).
