§ Q19. Mr. Ian Lloydasked the Prime Minister whether he will place the detention of Mr. Anthony Grey by the Chinese authorities on the agenda of the forthcoming Commonwealth Prime Minister's Conference.
§ The Prime MinisterIt is not customary to make public the agenda for the Commonwealth Prime Minister's Meeting 435W but I shall be discussing with my Commonwealth colleagues international problems including relations with China; and British subjects in detention in China will naturally arise in that context. But I very much hope that Mr. Grey will have been released by the time of the Meeting.
Mr. Grey's detention is totally unjustified and we shall continue to do everything possible to secure his release.
