HC Deb 18 February 1998 vol 306 c676W
Mr. Vaz

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many persons have applied to become members of the Race Relations Forum. [29565]

Mr. Mike O'Brien

There has not been a formal application procedure for membership of the Race Relations Forum. A total of 194 nominations and self-nominations have been received. These have come from community organisations, the Commission for Racial Equality, Government Departments and individuals.

We hope to be able to make an announcement about the membership of the Forum shortly.
