§ Q5. Dr. David Kerrasked the Prime Minister what representations he has received from the Archbishop of Canterbury in his capacity as Chairman of the National Committee for Commonwealth Immigrants; and what reply he has given.
§ Mr. George BrownI have been asked to reply.
I would refer my hon. Friend to the Statement issued to the Press after the meeting which my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister had with the Archbishop of Canterbury on the 1st December, a copy of which is in the Library.
§ Dr. KerrWill my right hon. Friend represent to the Prime Minister the concern which some of us feel that representations such as this ought to be the subject of debate in the House? Will he bear in mind the importance of keeping this matter constantly in the public view and open to public discussion?
§ Mr. BrownI take note of what my hon. Friend has said, but what is for debate in the House is more for my right hon. Friend the Lord President of the Council than for me.
