1 Jul 1936

It would be noted that two schemes had been put forward, the first of which was to establish a bureau on a large scale incorporating representatives of all the Departments concerned in the collection of intelligence, and a second scheme of a less ambitious nature. He personally favoured the more comprehensive scheme if it were eventually decided that a bureau was to be established in the Middle East. He wished to emphasise that such a bureau, if it was eventually decided that it should be established in the Middle East, would not interfere in any way with Government Departments at home, nor restrict the liberty of their local representatives, who would, as hitherto, continue to communicate direct with London.
