Enclosure to Colonial Office Despatch ho. 15 of 27th May
1924.
22811/19244
Downing Street,
27th May 1924.
Gentlemen,
With reference to the letter from this Department
Ho. 5537/1924 of the 19th February, I am directed by Mr.
Secretary Thomas to request you to be good enough to
furnish him with information as to the progress of your
Company’s negotiations with the Sheikhs of Bahrain and
Kuwait for oil concessions in their territories.
2. You will doubtless agree that it is undesirable
that negotiations should be prolonged further than is
absolutely necessary, especially in view of the fact that
other applications from companies have been received by His
Majesty’s Government for facilities similar to those which
have been afforded to yourselves. Mr. Thomas desires
me to take this opportunity of stating for your Company’s
information, that your claims to priority will be recognised
as at present, up to the 31st of March next; but that should
you have failed to accomplish your objects by that time,
His Majesty’s Government will feel bound to entertain pro-
-posals from other applicants to be allowed to proceed with
the institution of negotiations for oil concessions in
these areas.
I am,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
Bd/- J. E. SHUCKBURGE.
THE ANGLO PERSIAN OIL COMPANY LIMITED.
