Your telegram No. 9: Bahrain Internal Situation.
For Audsley,
Elections are now to ho held on April 18 and 19 for three
Workers' Representatives on the Government Labour Committee.
2. Since the oommittco will no doubt wish to hold the first
meeting within a very few days it would, I think, be most
desirable to advance the date of your visit and for you to
arrive not later than the end of next week, After successfully
taking part in protracted negotiations about the formation of
the committee, it would be unfortunate if we were not in a
position to offer immediate help and advice, and I hope we shall
be able to make tho expert, referred to in paragraph J*. of my
telegram Saving No. 7 to Foreign Office, available at a very
early date. \

Foreign Office pass Cairo, B.M.E.O. and Beirut as my
telegrams Nos. 15 and Saving 22 and 9, respectively.
