SentF.H.K. Green to C.G. Pandit, 3rd August, 1955 (DO 35/8639).
3 Aug 1955
Description:'Dear Dr. Pandit,
...
I enclose two copies of a memorandum setting out the unanimous recommendations of the conference, and we shall be grateful if you will kindly bring this document to the attention of those in the Government of India who you think would be interested. Copies are also being sent officially to the Government of India through the Commonwealth Relations Office and the U.K. High Commissioner in Delhi.
The recommendations are being adopted by all British air lines concerned with the transport of monkeys, and we believe that their adoption will do much to ameliorate the lot of these animals in transport and will certainly prevent any recurrence of such an accident as occurred at London Airport early in the year. We are sending the recommendations also to representatives of the United States Government, in the hope that the American exporting authorities and the American air lines concerned may be willing to take similar action.
...
As a further step towards facilitating the export of monkeys to this country under the best possible conditions, the Medical Research Council propose to send Dr. Lane-Petter to India (by air) towards the end of September for a visit of about three months' duration. He hopes to call upon you on his arrival in Delhi, and we shall be very grateful for any advice or assistance you may be able to give him.
With kind regards
Yours sincerely
(Signed) F.H.K. Green
Principal Medical Officer
P.S. Copies of the illustration of a satisfactory monkey cage, mentioned in the memorandum, were not ready at the time when I dictated this letter, but we will send them to you as soon as they come to hand.'

Recipient ofG.L. Simmons to F.H.K. Green, 9th Aug. 1955 (DO 35/8639).
9 Aug 1955
Description:'Thank you for sending me a copy of your letter of the 3rd August to Dr. Pandit. I have now written to our Trade Commissioner's Office in Delhi enclosing copies of the amended version of the recommendations and asking them to pass these to the Ministry of Commerce. I will let you know in due course what the Indian reactions, if any, are. I think passing on these recommendations in this way will serve as a useful preliminary to Lane-Petter's visit. As soon as details of this are fixed up, we would like to send advance information to Delhi, and our people there will, I am sure, be able to help him, particularly at the start by giving him introductions and arranging interviews.'

Recipient ofW. Lane-Petter to F.H.K. Green, 12th July, 1955 (FD 7/1329).
12 Jul 1955
Description:'Dear Green,
I have heard from Lord Merthyr that the R.S.P.C.A. are sending their Chief Secretary, their Chief Veterinary Officer and their Airport Officer to our monkey conference next Monday. This seems to be a very strong contingent and it occurs to me that you might like to know something beforehand of the R.S.P.C.A.'s attitude. Would you, therefore, like me to see you before the conference? Possibly we might have lunch together next Monday, the 18th July.'
