No. Pol(Ext.) 16604/48 of the 16th July about the
meteorological stations attached to the Consulates at
Bushire and Bandar Abbas.
We approached the Pakistan Government on the
lines indicated, and I enclose a copy of their reply
(No. Asia/3/30/48 dated 25th October).
2. This is the first we have heard of any proposal
to transfer these observatories to the Iranian Govern
ment. The possibility was certainly not suggested by
us: we merely informed the Pakistan Government that the
Iranian Government was a potential bidder for the
equipment in the event of these stations being closed
down.
3. I am sending a copy of this letter to Selby in
New Delhi.

About this item

It also documents the decision of the Government of Pakistan – as the maintainer of the aforesaid stations – to transfer these stations to Iranian control, rather than close them down.
The main correspondents are as follows: officials of the Commonwealth Relations Office (Francis Anthony Kitchener Harrison and Kenneth Roy Crook), officials of the Foreign Office (L W Blackwell and W F M Davies). A couple of letters from Sir Nelson King Johnson as Director of the Meteorological Office at the Air Ministry are also present within the file.
