Sir,
With reference to the letter ITo. T.2758/150/378
of the 17th March last from this department relative to
the Hejaz Nationality Law, I am directed hy Mr.Secretary
Henderson to transmit to you herewith a copy of a despatch
from His Majesty T s Minister at Jedda reporting the issue
by the Hejazi Government of a regulation amending the law of
1926. This regulation appears to be satisfactory so far as
British subjects are concerned, and Mr.Henderson is of the
opinion that it is unnecessary for Sir A.Ryan to press for
any further amendment of the law.
2. With regard to paragraph 8 of Sir A.Ryan T s despatch,
Mr. Henderson agrees that there i s no necsssity to talce up
the question of the position of British protected persons
in general under Article 3 of the law, which, as amended,
affords an opportunity to all persons born in the Hejaz of
foreign parents to opt for their parents’ nationality within
one year after reaching the age of eighteen. Mr.Henderson
would, however, be glad to learn whether Lir. Secretary Wedgwood
Benn agrees with the suggestion that the question of persons
of Kowaiti and Bahreini nationality benefitting by the new
Article 3 should be taken up when negotiations take place for
the settlement of outstanding
