There communications usually don't as they're covered by the official secrets act and are circulated amongst a small amount of staff. Hence why if they have found the person then they're going to see the inside of a prison cell, not typical of a leaker.
Besides the point of these private communications is that diplomats can speak freely. If they had to be minded that the press might read them then their feedback would change.
