Sir,
17 MAR
With reference to paragraph 2
of Lord Monteagle*s letter of the
26th February, No. E 75/75/91, I am
directed by the Secretary of State
for India to express his
appreciation of the offer of the
Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs to make certain enquiries of
the Sudan Government in connection
with the possibility of replacing
the present Indian police force in
Bahrein by Sudanese. Mr. Benn
feels that it would be of great
assistance to the Government of
India in considering the question
generally if they were aware of the
views of the Sudan Government, and
he would be grateful, therefore, if
these could be obtained. It would
no doubt be made clear to the Sudan
Government that the enquiry was
purely tentative at the present
stage, and that no decision of any
sort had yet been reached on the
question of the retention of
existing police arrangements m
Bahrein.
Copies of tins letter are being
sent to the Colonial Office and Air
Ministry.
