In the sub-section "Truth and Validity" (within the section, "Semantics" -- in Vacuous Names --, Grice considers
"the natural language counterparts of valid formulae" to 'express conceptual truths'.
This relates to
"Smeone won't be at this party"
He notes that under a weak reading,
that remark
"Will express a conceptual truth; while my argument [in that section VI] does not demand that the sentence in question express an EXCITING TRUTH, I am not sure that I welcome quite the degree of triviality which is now threatened"!
