for War, a copy of a telegram from His Majesty* s High
Commissioner at Bagdad, relative to the question of the
registration of British subjects in Mesopotamia.

Secretary Churchill, that Sir P. Cox should be informed in
reply that it is not proposed in existing circumstances to
require registration in Mesopotamia under the Ottoman Order
in Council, as, when the Turkish Treaty of Peace and the
Mandate come into force, British extra-territorial rights in
that country will cease, and the Ottoman
Order in Council
A regulation issued by the sovereign of the United Kingdom on the advice of the Privy Council.
will
no longer operate there.
3. Similarly Sir Percy Cox will not then exercise the
functions of a Consul-Oeneral, and no action in the matter of
such registration need therefore be taken by him during the
period before the new system is legally in operation.
I am
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble Servant
The Under-Secretary of State
India Office
The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors.
