CONFIDENTIAL
Addressed to Foreign Office telegram No. 837 of 9 September
Repeated for information to Hong Kong
Hong Kong telegram No. 1005.
782
Since last release of detainees (on 20 August) we have received exit visas for 10 persons, comprising 4 members of staff (including 1 senior member - Appleyard) and 6 wives and children. There would seem to be a case for a further early release of detainees [group undec] policy in telegram under reference of matching trickle of visas with a trickle of releases.
Foreign Office please pass Hong Kong (Priority).
Mr. Cradock
[Repeated as requested]
