to Foreign Office 55 and 56 dated January 23rd 0 Enquiry
from Flag Officer Commanding Royal Indian Navy, Bombay-
showed that, on account of repairs now being undertaken
and other work in the Naval dockyard, refit of Iranian
vessels could not in any case be undertaken until February
22nd at the earliesto Departure of Iranian vessels should
therefore be deferred e
Officer informs us that, if facilities for refitting of
Iranian vessels are refused altogether in naval dockyard,
there is more than one private dockyard in Bombay which
might be in a position to undertake refitting of Iranian
vesselso We have examined Port Authority Rules and it
seems that neither Government nor Port Authority possess
power to refuse access of foreign vessels of war to private
dockyards in Indian ports for refitting in peace time 0
Although it seems improbable that Iranian vessels would
seek facilities in other than naval dockyards, we think it
would be unwise to run risko We therefore advise that
facilities should not be refused but that Iranians should
be asked to postpone visit for reasons stated above„
Meantime, if proposal, referred to in Minister’s telegram 56
regarding Abadan is made, we suggest that it should be
accepted 0
