Primary record
Iran demands just that right.
in 1948, according to the accounts of the former Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, its net revenue amounted to £61 million; but from those profits Iran received only £9 million, though £28 million went into the United Kingdom Treasury in income tax alone.
the Company has not allowed the Iranian Government to examine or check its accounts during the last forty years.
It was provided that 25 per cent of the earnings of the National Oil Company, established pursuant to the law of 30 April, should be set aside as security for the compensation payable to the former Company.
