HC Deb 27 November 1970 vol 807 cc234-5W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has now completed his examination of the relationships between the Sports Council and the Government; whether he will announce changes in the composition of the Sports Council; and whether he will ensure that on this council there is at least one Commonwealth citizen belonging to one of the coloured races.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

My examination of this matter is not yet complete. I would deprecate any discrimination as to race or colour in appointing members of the Sports Council.
