Monsieur le Ministre,
With reference to Your .Fxoellenoy^ esteemed note of
Bahman 10th 1308 (January 30th 1930) Ho. 42 enclosing a
commission regarding the appointment of Mr. (lieut-Colonel H.V.)
Biscoe as His Britannic Majesty’s Consul-General in Bushire, I
am sending herewith, the exequatur issued in the name of the
said official together with the Commission.
At the same time I have the honour to refer Your
Excellency to the verbal discussions which the Head of the
Protocol Department of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs has h
with Mr. Havard, the 1st Secretary of that honourable Legation,
and to point out that the area of jurisdiction of the Consul-
General in Bushire cannot, as a rule, be more extensive than
that of the Governor (General) of the South ports and tha,t thir'
British Government has also separate Consulates in Shiraz and
Mohammerah and Ahwaz which are entirely excluded (indep'^^ent^i*
of the area of jurisdiction of the Governor (General ?)
South ports.
I shall, therefore, be obliged if you would inform the
competent quarters that the area of jurisdiction of the
(British ?) Consul-General in Bushire would be considered as
that of the Governor of the South ports and that they should
tahe this into consideration while issuing commissions of the
future Consuls-General so that no difficulty may arise in
respect of the issue of exequaturs relating to the said
appointments.
I avail eto.,
(Signed) Foroughi.
