I have the honour to inform you that the Political
Agent, Bahrain, has represented that the Bahrain
Government are deeply concerned about the humber of
destitute persons who obtain entry into Bahrain,
especially from native craft, without passports or
visas, The number of such persons has greatly increased
lately owing to the hope of obtaining employment in
the Bahrain Petroleum Company’s Oil Field and the
Bahrain Government regard it as essential that measures
should be taken to exclude undesirables of this type.
I entirely concur.
2. When these leUidesirabies are Bahrain subjects it is
of course the business of the Bahrain Government to
deal with them. Nearly all these undesirables are,
however, foreigners (Iraqis, Iranians, etc.), with a
few British Indians, who under the Bahrain Order in
Council can only be dealt with by the
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
.
But it is not an offence under the Bahrain Order in
Council for this class of person to enter Bahrain in
the circumstances described in paragraph 1 of this
letter. There is therefore no proper machinery for
dealing with such cases.
3. As you are aware the normal procedure for
introducing new ligislation over British and foreign
subjects in Bahrain is - under Section 70 (a) of the
Bahrain
Order in Council
A regulation issued by the sovereign of the United Kingdom on the advice of the Privy Council.
- to apply by a King's
Regulation to such subjects the relevant edict ('Alan)
by which the Bah/rain Government make such legislation
