The file contains correspondence relating to the collation and submission of the Administration Report of the Bahrain Political Agency and the Trucial Coast, including the reports themselves. Present in the file are the reports for the years 1935-1939.

These include: Medical Department of the Government of Bahrain; the Indian Posts and Telegraph Department; American Mission Hospital; Bahrain Petroleum Company (BAPCO); Customs Department of the Government of Bahrain; Victoria Memorial Hospital; Petroleum Concessions Limited; and the Adviser to the Government of Bahrain (Sir Charles Belgrave). The Trucial Coast reports are submitted to the Bahrain Political Agency by the Political Officer at Sharjah. Both final reports are then submitted by the Political Agent at Bahrain to the Political Residency in the Persian Gulf, at Bahrain.
