Qaestion of the extension of British
protection to the descendants horn abroad
of British-protected persons.
Sir,
I am directed by the Secretary of State to refer to
the letter from the Foreign Office of the 14th July, ho.
T. 7115 / 9 / 3 VB, of which a copy was sent to you with my
weekly letter of the 17th July, on the general question
whether aol how far the right to British protection
shouli te regarded as persisting in the descendants horn
abroad of British protected persons.
The interest of the Government of India in this
question would appear to extend to the natives of Indian
States, of tribal territories and of places such as Bahrein
aid. the Trucial Coast which enjoy a measure of British
protection. The Secretary of State is disposed to think
that little advantage would be gained by an exhaustive enquiry
into the existence and nature oi the raws or pi actio
obtaining in these territories in respect of the question
raised in the Idrei^ Office letter. He would, however,
be glad if the Government of India would examine the question
in its general aspect and furnish him with their views.
lf it is considered possible or desirable to lay down a
general ruling on the subject, the Secretary of State ^
