Sir
I am directed by Mr. Secretary Bevin to refer to
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. letter EXT. 1135/47 of the 14th Augu st^ and
to earlier correspondence regarding the moiety of costs
in connexion with the installation of certain air
conditioning equipment at His Majesty's Consulate at
Khorramshahr and the Shipping Office at Abadan.
2 . I am to inform you that these units were
not installed in the premises at Khorramshahr and Abadan
respectively as hitherto believed, but both units are
now" being installed in the premises occupied by His
Majesty’s Consulate at Khorramshahr, which are rented
from the Anglo—Iranian Oil Company as from the 14th
August, 1947. The cost of installation etc. is being
borne by the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.
3 . In view of the transfer of power, and the
fact that these units are only now being installed, any
question of division of costs would presumably only
arise in connexion with the general question of joint
representation after the 15 th August, 1947 and I am,
therefore, to request that this Department may be
informed as to what extent the Government of India
are now interested in the disposal of this equipment.
4 . I am to add that it has so far proved
impossible to ascertain the original cost of these
units.
