(K 13136/874/234) “ ~ 4 th January, 1931.
Sir,
I have had under consideration your despatch No. 6/5 of the
2nd Novemher last relative to the Consular district of His
Majesty’s Vice-Consul at Hamadan. In view of the fact that it
has been decided to close the post permanently no useful
purpose would be served by proceeding further with the
recognition of Mr. Vice-Consul Summerhayes’ extended district.
2. With regard, however, to the intention of the Persian
Government to refuse an exequatur for the district of Garrous
I consider it desirable that the matter should be dealt with
on the lines suggested in my despatch No. 716 of the 7th
ultimo.
3. You should therefore take a suitable opportunity of
proposing to the Persian Government that the Garrous district
should be included in the Commission of His Majesty’s
Consular Officer who, on the closure of the present Vice-
Consulate at Hamadan, will be appointed to superintend the
area at present assigned to that post and that they should
formulate a reservation with regard to that district when
issuing the exequatur.
I am, etc.,
(For the Secretary of State)
(Signed) ERNEST F. GYE.
R.H.
Hoare, Esq., C.M.G.,
