Sir,
British Legation,
Oulhek*
August 15th. 1932.
In his despatch Mo. 101 of March 9th. 1931, Mr. Parr proposed
\n that the vexed question of Lieutenant-Colonel Biscoe’s comlssion
and exequatur he left in suspense pending a definition of the
powers of the Governor of the Gulf Ports. Mr. Henderson’s despatch
Mo. 225 of April 23rd approved this suggestion.
2* The reason for this delay was that at that time the Govern-
orate of the Gulf Ports had heen placed under the Governor-General
of Pars. This arrangement has, however, heen cancelled for some
^ time past (see Mr. Dodd’s despatch No. 496 of September 12th 1931)
and I understand tiiatT it is unlikely to he revived. It is therefore
legitimate, in my opinion, in examining the question to assume that
the Governor will remain independent.
3 . I should explain that in the course of the discussions with
the head of the Protocol Department that preceded the preparation
of Mr. Parr’s despatch, Farrukh Khan had expressed the opinion that
the description of the Bushlre district as*
’’The coasts and islands of the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
,
w heing within the dominions of Persia”
might with advantage be replaced by:
"The Governorate of the Gulf Ports”.
4 . I must confess to some sympathy with this view, for though
objection was taken to the proposal at the time on the ground that
the area of jurisdiction of the Governor of the Gulf Forts was not
sufficiently
The Bight Honourable
Sir John Simon G.C.S.I.,
