HC Deb 25 January 1957 vol 563 cc80-1W
Mr. Warbey

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs who represented the interests of the British Adviser in Bahrein at the recent trial of Bahreini nationals on a charge of plotting to assassinate the Adviser.

Mr. Ian Harvey

Sir Charles Belgrave, the Adviser to the Ruler of Bahrain, is not in the service of Her Majesty's Government. He did not request the assistance of Her Majesty's Representative, and I am not aware whether be made arrangements to be represented at the recent trial of the inhabitants of Bahrain convicted recently, amongst other things, of plotting his assassination.
