- Title:
- Coll 28/22 ’Persia; Relations with H.M.G. Persian Debt to H.M.G.’
- Scope & Content:
-
Correspondence concerning the Persian Government’s desire, signalled in June 1931, to pay off in full a pre-war interest-bearing debt owed to Britain, totalling £490,000. Correspondence is chiefly exchanged between the Foreign Office (Charles William Baxter, George William Rendel), the India Office (John Gilbert Laithwaite), the Treasury (Thomas Kenneth Bewley), and the British Legation at Tehran (Charles Dodd), and covers:
- The wording of a formal response to be given to the Persian Government, that does not comprise or jeopardise the outstanding (post-war) debt of £1,510,000 remaining to be paid.
- The nature of the servicing of the debt and its interest.
- In late August 1931, the Persian Ministry of Finance’s decision to abandon service of the debt, and continue payment of interest on the debt at seven per cent.
- In 1932, the Persian Ministry of Finance’s reversal of their earlier decision to abandon servicing of the debt.
- In June 1933, confirmation via the Imperial Bank of Persia of the full servicing of the pre-war debt.
- India Office correspondence dated October 1933, enclosing a provisional draft of instructions for a General Treaty between Britain and Persia, making mention of the outstanding debt owed by Persia to Britain (ff 16-34).
The file contains two letters in French (f 42, f 47), sent by the Treasury General of the Persian Ministry of Finance.
