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.

Whitehall, S.W.l
24th February, 1921
Sir,
In reply to your letters No* C.9921/9921/34 and
C. 9922/9921/34 dated 8th November last relative to the
disposal of certain unexpended balances in the hands
of His Majesty’s Consul at Shiraz, I am directed by the
Secretary of State for India to say that, in view of the
present situation in Persia which may render in the
near future the position of Shiraz one of critical
importance, he considers that the balances in question
should be left at the disposal of the Consul to be used
either at his entire discretion or as a reserve in the
eventuality of the abandonment of Tehran by the Persian
Government.
Mr. Montagu notes that the sum of Krs. 200,604. 25
forms part of a sum in regard to which a claim has been
lodged with thepersian Government, but he is of opinion
that, in view of the extreme unlikeliness of this claim
ever being met by that Government, there is no practical
objection to the sum in question being regarded as at the
disposal of His Majesty’s Government.
I have,
etc., etc.,
(SD.) L.D. WAKELY
The Under Secretary of State,
Foreign Office.
