Enclosure in No. 1
Translation of Parts of the Debate in the Majlis Session of Khordad 7, 1312
(Mav 28 1933), when the new Anglo-Per Comfany Concession was
passed definitely by the House at t 18
Majlis Proceedings of the above date,
WHEN article 4 of the concession was read, TABATABA I DIBA made
the following comments :—
" This article mentions at the beginning: ' Any piece of waste land
belonging to the Government that may be deemed necessary by the company
for Its operations in Persia.' I am of the opinion that the Goyernment
should give to the company only those tracts of land, whether waste land
or land in use needed by them and situated but
as for areas throughout the whole of Persia outside of the concession area,
as is mentioned in this article, I am opposed to this.
THF TtA PPORTEUR of the National Economic Committee of the House
(Fah mi)) ■ "The reason is that the operations of the company are concerned,
fetl with the extraction of oil, which has to be done
and/secondly, the laying of pipes and other non-exclusive (or non-monopolistic)
operations outside the concession area.
THE CHAIRMAN : " Those of the honourable Deputies who agree with
article 4 are requested to stand up.
The majority rose.
THE CHAIKMAN : " It is sanctioned. Article 5 to be read
