i^pril, I;0.832 re^irding the entertainment of the Arab
i lias ion from Bahrein as the guests of His Majesty's
Government. ' <
The Secretary of State agrees with the IrOrds
Commissioners of the Treasury that observance should be
paid *to the principle that control of the expenditure
on State guests should rest with the Minister responsible
to Parliament for such expenditure; he believes that
Their lordships will find that t3mt principle was
closely observed* in respect of the two later irab
S
idissions (regarding which a further communication to
you will shortly be made), and would observe that the
departure from strict adherence to this principle in
the cane of the* lissicn^rorn Bahrein h .& its origin, as
