at Bahrein. I understand that at Jedda, at ary rate, air-
conditioning is considered a great boon and it would be no doubt a good thing
if it could be installed in the /Agencies. The Ministry of Works say, however,
that there are liable to be practical difficulties in installation since it
depends on the local supply of electric current and probably it would in ary

On further reflection, I am a little doubtful whether the proposed reply
is altogether suitable. In the first place it does not really answer the question
when the introduction of air conditioning is expected. Secondly, it suggests
that the final decision in a matter of this kind rests with the Government of India
and that the Secretary of State’s ^eoiiion is that of an intermediary between the
Member and the Goverrment of India. As I see it, the Secretary of State might well
be expected by the Member to take a more active interest in the matter than this.
