HC Deb 18 March 1957 vol 567 c9W
83. Mr. Warbey

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to what extent Her Majesty's Government has jurisdiction over the citizens of Bahrain.

Mr. Ian Harvey

In addition to the cession of jurisdiction to Her Majesty's Government by the Ruler for specific purposes, Her Majesty's Government and the Government of Bahrain exercise joint jurisdiction in "mixed" cases involving Bahraini nationals and persons not normally subject to the jurisdiction of the Ruler of Bahrain.
