security had hitherto prevailed in the district, it was felt that no responsibility
for the murder attached to the authorities and that no claim therefore lay against
the Iranian Government. The firm, however, on their own put forward a request
for an ex cjratia payment to Mr. Fear’s mother, but, though the authorities were
sympathetic, they stated that they did not see how they could grant this request
without creating a precedent. The matter was, therefore, allowed to rest.
(12) Doctors and Midioives.
128. The Ministry for Foreign Affairs replied in January to the notes that
had been addressed to them during the previous year requesting that certain
institutions in the United Kingdom and the Dominions might be added to the
list of medical schools, &c., whose diplomas were recognised by the Iranian
Government. The latter now stated that they would be happy to take steps to
recognise the various medical faculties concerned, but that they would need for
this purpose full details of their curricula. The Iranian Government also
enquired what recognition would be given in the British Empire to diplomas
issued by the Faculty of Medicine in Tehran.
129. The question at first seemed of some urgency as among the diplomas
which the Iranian Government had not hitherto recognised were those of the
Royal College of Physicians of London and the Royal College of Surgeons of
England, and a Church Missionary Society doctor arrived early in the spring
whose qualifications were precisely M.R.C.S., and L.R.C.P. It was thought that
in view of their request for detailed curricula the Iranian Government would
not be ready to issue a licence to this doctor until these had been received; but
they rather surprisingly made no difficulties, and subsequently stated that they
were now prepared to recognise the diplomas of both the above bodies. It was
felt, however, that despite such an illogical proceeding it was still desirable
to furnish them with the full curricula of the then non-recognised bodies in the
United Kingdom, and the matter was accordingly referred to the General Medical
Council, as also the Iranian enquiry as to the attitude which would be adopted in
the United Kingdom towards diplomas of the Faculty of Medicine in Tehran.
The question of the recognition of diplomas issued by certain institutions in the
Dominions, and that of the reciprocal recognition of the I eh ran diploma were
similarly referred to the Dominions concerned.
130. As regards diplomas issued in India, the only institutions hitherto
recognised by the Iranian Government were the Universities of Bombay, Calcutta
and Madras. TTis Majesty s Legation accordingly forwarded to the Ministry for
Foreign Affaiis in June a full list of the universities, State medical faculties and
examination boards, the holders of whose qualifications were entitled to practise
in India. To this the Iranian Government replied by asking which of these
qualifications entitled their holders to practise in the United^ Kingdom The
matter was referred to the Foreign Office and the Government of India and
instructions were received at the end of the year to furnish the Iranian Govern
ment with the required information.
131. The Iranian Government agreed in January to the request put forward
the previous year that doctors temporarily attached to His Majesty's consulates
f!!°d. ie exempted from the necessity of obtaining a medical licence, provided
that their stay did not exceed four months and that their attendance was confined
to consular employees.
(13) Legation Property.
132. Final agreement was reached with the municipality in January with
regard to the terms on which His Majesty’s Legation were prepared to cede
approximately 3,450 square metres of land on the east side of the Legation for
the purposes of street widening. The municipality agreed to nav the sum of
724,470 rials (about £8,000 at the then rate of exchange) and toUrry ou“ a
