A.55 2200 PAKISTAN Britain is to make a further seven and a half million pounds available for relief work among Pakistani refugees in India. Another million pounds will be provided for relief work in East Pakistan. This further assistance is being given in response to appeals by the United Nations Secretary General U. Thant, and the High Commissioner for Refugees, Prince Sadruddin Agha Khan. It more than doubles Britain's previous contributions. The aid was announced in Parliament in London by the British Foreign Secretary, Sir Alec Douglas Home. Sir Alec said later that Britain would do everything conceivable to help towards a settlement between the two countries. In Strasbourg, the Ministerial Committee of the Council of Europe has called on the seventeen member governments to increase their assistance to refugees from East Pakistan.

A.35 1900 EAST PAKISTAN (HUBS) It is reported in East Pakistan that the Pakistan government has decided to impose collective Fines in areas where subversive or anti-state activities have been going on. A BBC correspondent in Dacca says the decision would appear to have been taken in view of the rising incidence of rebel attacks, both in the East Pakistan interior and in the capital, Dacca, in which the rebels have been showing increasing boldness. In one recent incident, a group armed with automatic weapons, kidnapped a stationmaster and three railway policemen in Dacca. Our correspondent says there have also been a number of bombing incidents at schools and at Dacca University. ROBSON N65. N66.
