§ Mr. DAYasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has received any reports of recent raids, either by Nejdi tribesmen or Transjordanian troops; and whether the situation on the frontier between Iraq and Nejd is giving any cause for concern?
§ Dr. SHIELSReports have been received of some inter-tribal raiding on the Transjordan-Nejd frontier, but I have no recent reports of action by Transjordanian troops. I am advised that all necessary measures have been taken to deal with any situation likely to arise on the frontier between Iraq and Nejd, and that there is no present cause for concern.
