§ 41. Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what supervision is exercised over, and official advice given to, Community Relations Committees, with regard to the dis- 320W charge of their functions; and what reports he has received from local authorities of the disciplining, or dismissal, of officials concerned with race relations for political or improper activities.
§ Mr. SharplesCommunity relations councils are local voluntary bodies. They get guidance and help, if they want it, from the Community Relations Commission. It is not for my right hon. Friend to supervise or advise them. He has received no reports from local authorities on the matters mentioned by my hon. Friend.
