47. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has received the communication from the hon. Member for West Ham, North, dated 18th December, regarding the practice adopted by the Institute of Race Relations in giving financial support out of public funds to subversive organisations; and what action he proposes to take in connection with same.

Mr. Lane

I have replied to the hon. Member's letter. I explained that the Institute of Race Relations is an independent body and that public funds are not involved in the matters that he drew to my right hon. Friend's attention.
