HC Deb 18 November 1969 vol 791 c246W
107. Mr. Ellis

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will bring in legislation to prevent local authorities from using money from local rates to finance questionnaires to find out facts on private citizens' political beliefs.

Mr. Denis Howell

I am not aware of any need for such legislation but if my hon. Friend has a particular case in mind perhaps he will write to me.
