12. Mr. Simmonds

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the number of Germans who have been permitted to leave Iran in consideration of their diplomatic status; and also the number of British citizens with diplomatic status who were resident in Iran at the commencement of September, 1941?

Mr. Eden

As regards the first part of my hon. Friend's Question, the number was 24 men and 16 women and domestic staffs. The staff of the British Legation in Teheran and their families numbered about 60 on 1st September. In addition, there are the staffs of the various British Consulates in Persia which, including British Indian subjects, number about the same.
