Withdrawal of C.I.C.I. and Area Liaison Officers in Iraq

22 Jul 1946

(b) As regards political and tribal intelligence, we should mainly rely on the political Vice-Consuls to provide general intelligence. From this it follows that the Vice-Consuls must be at their posts as soon as possible and in all cases not later than September. (c) C.I.C.I. records would be transferred to A.H.Q., Habbaniya, where collation would be handled by the A.O.C.'s intelligence staff, augmented by some of C.I.C.I's present personnel. Whether all M.I.5 records should be treated in the some way would be a matter for the M.I.5 representative to decide when he comes out.
