Question of whether presents received from Rulers in Persian Gulf can be retained by serving Officers

This file contains correspondence relating to a request for a ruling as to whether presents received from local Rulers should be retained or must be put into the general collection. For example presents given to Mr and Mrs Weir by the local Rulers and their wives and presents given to B A B Burrows and J Wall by King Saud Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud. N M P Reilly also enquired whether he may keep a gold watch presented to him by Sheikh Fahad (1-2).
