8. In order to enable the Royal Air Force to take
their part in implementing a guarantee of protection it
will be necessary for the Sheikh to grant certain facilities.
Details of these have already been furnished in deni
official correspondence between the Air Ministry and the
India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. .
9. Prompt and efficient intelligence is essential to
successful air action. At present the necessary intelligence
resources in Qatar do not exist and it would be assential
that the Sheikh should grant permission for an intelligence
officer to reside, if necessary, in Q,atar; and in any event
to allow him or his assistants freedom to travel in Qatar
and to establish and use ?//$ communications in that country.
10. As regards expenditure, the Council naturally cannot
at this stage give a firm estimate. On the assumption,
however, that no additional units are required, the
expenditure would be limited to provision of the minor air
facilities and the additional intelligence resources
referred to above and, in the event of air operations, smch
expenditure as these normally entail. Past experience,
however, of such operations does not lead the Air Oouncil
to regard this expenditure as likely to be excessive.
11. A copy of this letter has been sent to the Foreign
Office, Admiralty and War Office.
