consular work in this Secretariat, His Excellency would be glad
to be informed of any decision arrived at as a result of the
consultation with His Majesty’s Government envisaged in the
first paragraph of your letter under reference.
2 . I should add that cnildren born in ’Iraq of persons
entitled to British protection by reason of their birth in
one of the Dative States of India do not automatically acquire
’Iraq Nationality under ’Iraq law. Therefore there would no
local objection to their being registered here as British
protected persons. On the other hand, as their status under
both British and International haw would seem to ce obscure,
and in view of the fact that a number of applications or this
character have recently been received, his Excellency wouia be
grateful for a ruling on the subject as soon as possible.
3 . a copy of tnxs letter is being forwarded to the
Secretary of State for the Colonies.
