§ Mr. Martenasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will take steps to stop the EEC distributing via the European Movement, the CBI, and other organisations propaganda specifically for use in the referendum campaign and paid for in part by the British taxpayer; and if he will make a statement on the criteria by which foreign organisations arc permitted to intervene in British internal policies.
§ Mr. HattersleyNo. The dissemination of information about the Community is part of the normal work of the Commission. As far as I am aware, the Community's office in London is continuing its normal activities and I know of no decision to extend this work which might constitute interference in our domestic affairs. The Government's view on the participation of outside organisations in the campaign is set out in the White Paper (Cmnd. 5925).
