Mr. Rifkind

My right hon. and learned Friend saw Cardinal Glemp on 13 April, taking further the private talk they had during his recent visit here. They discussed the situation of the Church in Poland. In his talks with the Polish Government my right hon. and learned Friend stressed the importance we attach to arms control and the Geneva negotiations, our concern for human rights and reconciliation in Poland and our wish to improve bilateral relations.
