§ 46. Dr. Grayasked the Attorney-General whether he has decided to prosecute in the case of the Yarmouth hotel proprietor referred to him by the Race Relations Board.
§ The Attorney-GeneralI am considering whether to institute civil proceedings for an injunction in this case. Inquiries which are being made in this connection are nearing completion.
§ Dr. GrayWould my right hon. and learned Friend say why he has taken so long to reach a decision in this flagrant case of racial discrimination, concerning a sophisticated hotel proprietor who turned out of his hotel, after the couple had already occupied a room, a man and his wife simply because the man was coloured?
§ The Attorney-GeneralAs this matter may come before the courts, I do not think it desirable that I should comment upon it, but it is not without difficulty. Inquiries are nearing completion and a decision will be made very shortly.
