Peking telegram No. 17 to Foreign Office
2
a Note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 29 November confirming that Hsueh P'ing had been visited by the NCNA official together with his wife on three occasions.
(f) On 31 December Mr. Hsueh made request for "form" visit to NCNA and other journalists in Hong Kong as well as for visits by other organisations to other prisoners and for permission to take food and clothing as already requested by the NCNA. He says that if the requests put forward by the NCNA in Hong Kong are "fully satisfied" consideration would be given to allow access to Grey.

Perhaps Hong Kong could confirm what previous requests they had received from the NCNA for access since Hsueh P'ing was arrested (I have just seen Hong Kong telegram No.7).
4. It will be seen from the above that the Chinese have constantly shifted their ground and raised their price for access to Grey.
Foreign Office pass Hong Kong No. 6.
