deportees, and endeavour to secure that they should he returned
to their country of origin, and not merely to the nearest
available British territory. This is the established practice
in cases of deportation from the United States, and it is
desirable, if possible, that it should be followed by other
foreign countries.
5. Mr. Henderson would suggest, for the consideration
of Mr. Benn, that the procedure followed by the Government of
India in the two cases cited in Sir Andrew Ryan’s despatch
is undesirable, and that in view of the inconvenience which
would be caused by similar action being taken by the Hejaz
Government in cases of deportation to British territory, it
should be discontinued.
6. Mr. Henderson will be glad to learn whether Mr. Benn
agrees that Mr. Hope Gill should be instructed accordingly.
7. At the same time, Mr. Henderson will be glad to
receive the observations of Mr. Benn on the question of
deportations from the Hejaz to Afghanistan, raised in paragraph
5 of Sir Andrew Ryan’s despatch. I am to add that cases of
deportation to Afghanistan from the United States are usually
referred to the Government of India by His Majesty’s Ambassador
at Washington, for permission for the deportee to enter India
en route for his own country.
8. Similar letters are being addressed to the Home
Office and the Colonial Office.
I am.
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,

Content

This file relates to the procedure for the deportation of persons to and from the Hejaz, particularly British subjects and British-protected persons. The file includes copies of Foreign Office correspondence, as well as copies of Government of India correspondence. Correspondents include the following: the British Minister at Jedda (Sir Andrew Ryan); His Majesty's Chargé d’Affaires, Jedda (Cecil Gervase Hope Gill); the Deputy Secretary to the Government of India's Foreign and Political Department; the Foreign Secretary to the Government of India; the Hejazi Minister for Foreign Affairs [Fayṣal bin ‘Abd al-‘Azīz Āl Sa‘ūd]; officials of the Colonial Office and Foreign Office.

Matters discussed include the question of whether a local government should be required to verify a person's nationality before deporting that person to another country, and the question of which government should bear the cost of a person's deportation.

The file includes a divider which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.
