‘File 14/5 A-7 OFFICER FOR AGENCY, KUWAIT’
- Scope & Content:
-
The file contains an exchange of telegrams in 1949 between the Political Agent at Kuwait and the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf at Bahrain, expressing concerns about existing and future building development, mainly staff accommodation, on empty land in the vicinity of the Kuwait Political Agency. The Political Agent refers to the competing building schemes of two British companies, the shipping agents Gray, Mackenzie and Company Limited and the Imperial Bank of Iran. The file also contains English translations of an exchange of letters in 1944 between the Political Agent and the Ruler of Kuwait, Shaikh Ahmad Al Jabir Al Sabah [Āl Ṣabāḥ, Shaikh Aḥmad al-Jābir], in which the latter agreed to reserve a plot of land for the construction of Agency staff accommodation, and to prevent development of another site already occupied by the Agency’s rain water storage tanks.
