2*> The Bahrain Government have informed the Political
Agent, Bahrain, that they possess only one ambulance and that
they are unable to keep either an ambulance or a fire engine
permanently stationed at Muharraq aerodrome. Both ambulance
and fire engine could be sent to the aerodrome in an emergency
on telephonic instructions from the aerodrome authorities.
This, however, cannot be regarded as a satisfactory substitute
as the aerodrome is on the island of Muharraq and the ambulance
and fire engines on the island of Manama and it would take some
time for either to reach the aerodrome. Nor would it appear to
be the responsibility of the Bahrain Government to provide such
ancillary services so long as the exclusive right under the
Bahrain Civil Agreement to maintain aerodromes and ancillary
services in Bahrain is vested in His Majesty's Government.
