HC Deb 20 October 1971 vol 823 cc133-4W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will now increase the grant made by Her Majesty's Government to the European Movement on con- dition that they use these extra funds for the purpose of ascertaining the views of the British electorate on the issue of whether or not Great Britain should enter the European Economic Community.

Mr. Anthony Royle

No. The purpose of the Grant-in-Aid given by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to the European Movement continues to be to assist exchanges of views with other Europeans.
