Sir Stafford Northcote may, perhaps, consider it
more advisable to place the entire group of agencies,
thus connected with each other, under the super
intendence of 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.
. It might be the
best solution of the difficulty to let us again take
the entire business (including that of Persia) into
our hands. But it would be obviously absurd to
do so if, on the occurrence of a change of Govern
ment, there should be any likelihood (as on the last
occasion) of the reversal of the arrangement.

About this item
- Content
A printed memorandum written by John William Kaye, Political Secretary to 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. , 1 July 1868.
The memorandum discusses the complexities of relations between Muscat and Zanzibar, in the first instance, and Muscat and Persia, in the second instance, especially in light of the subsidy Zanzibar is obligated to pay annually to Muscat and the yearly payment Muscat pays Persia for the lease of the port of Bandar Abbas. The author suggests what Britain's course of action should be in both cases. He ends with a criticism of the way the region is administered, calling for the frequent overlap of responsibility between the Foreign Office and the Government of India to be dealt with.
