HC Deb 19 July 1966 vol 732 cc379-80
Q8. Mr. English

asked the Prime Minister if he will instruct Ministers of the Crown to cease from membership of organisations with a political purpose not necessarily in accordance with Her Majesty's Government's policy.

The Prime Minister

I would refer my hon. Friend to the Answers I gave to similar Questions on 2nd March, 1965.

Mr. English

Is my right hon. Friend aware of the letter-heading of an organisation which clearly was printed after the last election and includes as members of its political committee the names of members of the Cabinet?

The Prime Minister

If my hon. Friend will send me particulars, of course I will investigate. On previous occasions when I have investigated, however, I have found that letter-headings and lists of names down the left-hand side of some of these things have even included my name in respect of organisations from which I had resigned nearly two years ago. I will, of course, look into the case if my hon. Friend will send me the letterheading which he has in his possession.
