- Abstract: The file consists of a typescript confidential document entitled 'Right of H.M.G. [His Majesty's Government] to contract engagements on behalf of the Arab Sheikhdoms of the Persian Gulf in International Agreements': note by External Department, India Office, dated April 1946. The note discusses the question of the right of the British Government to speak on behalf of Koweit [Kuwait], Bahrein [Bahrain], Qatar, and the Trucial Sheikhdoms in the light of:(1) the Chicago Air Agreements;(2) the recent Petroleum Agreement between the governments of the United Kingdom and the United States;(3) the Bretton Woods Agreements.The conclusion is that in order to maintain the position of the Arab Sheikhdoms of the Persian Gulf (excluding Muscat) as British protected states, the British must from time to time undertake international obligations on their behalf and see that the states themselves fulfil such obligations.The document has an annex by Sir Charles Geoffrey Prior, Political Resident in the Persian Gulf, containing his views on the question, dated 27 September 1945.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence commences at 1 on the first folio and terminates at 3 on the last folio. The numbers are written in pencil, are enclosed in a circle, and appear in the top right corner of the recto page of each folio. This is the system used to determine the order of pages.Pagination: the file also contains an original typescript pagination sequence numbered 2-3, which appears at the top centre of folios 1-2.
