india Office,

My dear .arenan,
Would you please refer to your letter
of 24th October, lio.E.6362/208/91 on the subject
of the draft (^atar Order in Council.
We agree generally with the amendments
suggested by the foreign Office, and there are only
two points on which we wish to offer observations,
the first of which relates to the definition of
"^atar subject 11 in Article 4. We agree with you
that it would be as well to discard the unsatis-
-factory definition used in the noweit Order but
we are not clear whether the phrase ’•Muslim person**
used in your amended definition is intended to in-
-clude or exclude “Muslim Corporation*. if, as we
assume, exc lu si on is intended, it may be as well to
say so in the definition, if you agre. An alter-
-native solution might be to omit the word “person 11
after “MoslemWould you kindly let us know
what you think.
Our other point is that a definition
of the expressions “person to whom this order applies*
and “person subject to this order* is contained in
the penultimate paragraph of Article 4, and is these
circumstances no amendment of article 8 appears to
be required.
When we have settled the out star, ding
point dealt with above, we proposed to submit the
amended draft for approval without further reference
