Dear Sir , Downing Street, 8th August, 1932.
At an interview at the Colonial Office recently. Major Holmes and Mr. Lloyd
Hamilton discussed, inter alia, the application of the Bahrein Petroleum Cbmpany,
Limited, for the revision of Clause IX of the Second Schedule to their Concession
Agreement, and were informed that His Majesty's Government would have no object
tion to the modification of this Clause in the manner desired by the Company subject
to the addition of certain provisions for measuring and checking the amount of oil
produced for the purpose of royalty assessment.
I now forward, as requested by Mr. Lloyd Hamilton, a draft of the provisions*
which it is proposed to include in the revised Clause IX. We should be glad to learn
at your early convenience whether the Bahrein Petroleum Company desire to offer
any comments on the wording of these provisions. If the provisions are acceptable
to the ^ Company, the matter will be placed on an official footing; and the British
authorities in the Persian Gulf will be requested to advise the Shaikh of Bahrein to
conclude a supplementary agreement with the Company for the revision of the Clause
in question
I am, &c.,
J. E. W. FLOOD.
