Description (What the record is about)
-
Correspondence, drafts, and minute papers relating to the passing of the Special Police Officers Regulations, 1936, under the articles of The Bahrain Order in Council, 1913. The papers cover the initial discussion of the need for special officers to maintain order amongst foreign subjects in Bahrain which was triggered by a violent incident involving Bahrain Petroleum Company employees, details of which are reported by the Political Agent, Lieutenant-Colonel Gordon Loch, in April 1936 (folios 33-34). Interdepartmental consensus over the text of the regulation and the appropriate powers to be given to the special officers is then sought between the India Office, Foreign Office, and Government of India (Foreign and Political Department). A copy of the new regulation is on folio 8.
