HC Deb 08 March 1968 vol 760 c186W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much is paid by his Department towards the salary of the international liaison officer in Huddersfield; and why no contribution is made to the cost of additional assistance.

Mr. Ennals

In accordance with the White Paper "Immigration from the Commonwealth" (Cmnd. 2739), the National Committee for Commonwealth Immigrants, which receives a grant-in-aid from the Government, is making a grant of £1,500 for the year 1967–68 towards the salary of the liaison officer to the Huddersfield International Liaison Committee. The White Paper expressed the hope that local authorities would make their contribution by providing office accommodation and secretarial support for these officers.
