- Title:
- File 18/3 Application of Indian Arms Act to Bahrain
- Scope & Content:
-
The file mainly relates to a proposal to curb the proliferation of arms in Bahrain [often referred to in the papers as Bahrein] by the issue of a proclamation (also referred to as an Alaan and an 'Alan) by the Ruler of Bahrain banning the import and export of fireams and other weapons and providing for the registration of firearms. This was to be accompanied by the issue by the British Government of a King's Regulation under the Bahrain Order in Council, 1913. The papers include correspondence between the Political Agent Bahrain, the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf, Charles Dalrymple Belgrave (the Adviser to the Government of Bahrain), the Government of India, the India Office, and the Foreign Office, dated June 1935 - January 1937; draft and issued copies of the proclamation in English and Arabic, July 1935 - December 1936; draft and published copies of the King's Regulation on the possession of and traffic in arms, July 1935 - December 1936; and papers concerning the adverse reaction to the proclamation by Bahraini citizens, February 1937.
The file also includes:
- correspondence between the Intelligence Bureau, Government of India; the Political Agent, Bahrain; and the Adviser to the Government of Bahrain concerning the recovery in India of a smuggled service rifle from an instructor attached to the Bahrein [Bahrain] Police, December 1934 - October 1935;
- correspondence concerning a proposal to seek exemption from the Ruler of Bahrain's arms and ammunition proclamation dated 30 April 1898 for arms and ammunition landed at Bahrain for the use of the Royal Navy, May - June 1935.
The Spanish and French language content of this file consists of text forming part of printed King's Regulations relating to Morocco, dated 1935, included with official correspondence as specimens of the form of such regulations, ff. 59-64.
The covering dates of the correspondence (the main body of papers) in the file are 5 January 1935 - 12 March 1937. The closing date in the overall date range is supplied by an entry in the notes at the rear of the file.
