- Coll 20/8 'Muscat: Appointment of Financial Adviser: Mr S. E. Hedgcock'
- Scope & Content:
-
The file contains correspondence, minutes, and notes connected to the appointment and resignation of Stuart Edwin Hedgcock as Financial Adviser to the Muscat Government. The principal correspondents are Hedgcock himself, the Foreign Department of the Government of India, Lieutenant-Colonel Hugh Vincent Biscoe, Political Resident in the Persian Gulf, Major Trenchard Craven William Fowle, Political Agent in Muscat, various officials at the India Office, and the Council of Ministers to the Sultan of Muscat and Oman. Other correspondence is from the Colonial Office, Ministry of Labour, and High Commissioner in Iraq.
The papers cover the disagreement over the reasons for Hedgcock's resignation in April 1931, the circumstances under which it was withdrawn and then accepted, and Hedgcock's numerous representations to the India Office for help clearing his name. The correspondence also deals with his initial appointment, terms of employment, and arrangements for travel to Muscat.
