HC Deb 19 May 1969 vol 784 c21W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what further action he has taken since 1st May to secure the release from prison of Mr. Anthony Grey, the Reuters correspondent now under close house arrest in Peking.

Mr. Whitlock

Representations continue to be made to the Chinese Government. Their Chargé d'Affaires was summoned to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office today to discuss the cases of British subjects detained in China. He was asked once again to convey to his Government the very great importance we attach to Mr. Grey's early release. The Chargé d'Affaires had nothing new to say about Mr. Grey's case or about the cases of other British subjects detained in China.
