HC Deb 11 June 1971 vol 818 c382W
Mr. Soref

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will prosecute for infringement of the Race Relations Act the London West Indian Standing Conference for promising cash assistance exclusively for coloured candidates in London borough elections.

Mr. Sharples

It is not for my right hon. Friend to institute prosecutions. In any event, criminal prosecutions under the Race Relations Acts are about incitement to racial hatred.
