Dear Cowell,
ITewall tells me that
the Air Ministry have had under
consideration the delimitation of
the spheres of responsibility of
the Air authorities in Iraq, (and
the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. ) and Aden. The
object they have particularly in
view is to avoid any conflict of
jurisdiction in the area between
Sur in Muscat, and Aden. The
matter is, of course, complicated
by the fact that the C.O. are now
responsible for the Aden
Protectorate and the Hadhramaut,
while responsibility for Muscat
remains, as before, with the G.of I.
and the India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. e simplest
solution of the difficulty appears
to be that the dividing line should
be the same as the dividing line
between India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. and Colonial
Office responsibility, i.e. the
southern frontier of Muscat. From
Biscoe f s letter to the G.of I.
dated 24th February, No.76S (copy
sent to you under our printed
letter P.2279 of 25th April), it
appears that the boundary between
the jurisdiction of the Political
Agent, Muscat and the Resident
