M.i.p.t. : Prison Visits.
Subject to your concurrence, the following
should now be the plan of action in Peking:
(a)
Sir Donald Hopson should say to the Chinese
that we have been trying to see how some
progress could be made over the question of
visits to imprisoned NCNA and other journalists.
All these prisoners have of course been receiving
regular visits, but we are now prepared to make
arrangements for additional visits to such
prisoners. If the names of the journalists
at present in prison are supplied to us, we are
prepared to agree (provided that the prisoner
does not object) to an additional visit to each
individual by his employer accompanied by one
other official of the newspaper employing him
or alternatively by one NCNA representative if this is preferred.
