- Content
This volume is composed of interdepartmental correspondence relating to the future administration of the lighting and buoying service in the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. .
The correspondence notes that since 1911 the cost of the service, which is carried out by the Royal Indian Marine, has been shared between the British Imperial Government (specifically the Foreign Office) and the Government of India. After the Foreign Office expresses its intention in January 1922 to withdraw Imperial contributions after the end of the current financial year, the correspondence goes on to discuss potential savings and possible ways of making the lighting and buoying service 'self-supporting', such as by imposing a levy on all vessels calling at Basra and Abadan. Also discussed are the proposal to impose dues on all local sailing vessels in the Gulf, and the question of whether the Government of Irak [Iraq] would be able and willing to collect light dues from vessels calling at Basra and Abadan, on behalf of the British Government and the Government of India. The correspondence concludes with discussion of a proposed advisory committee relating to lighting and buoying in the Gulf, which would consist of representatives of various shipping and commercial interests.
