HC Deb 15 January 1976 vol 903 c194W
5. Mr. Guy Barnett

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has yet made a decision about the number of staff required to man the new Race Relations Commission as foreshadowed in Command Paper No. 6234; and if he will make a statement about his proposals.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

I hope to present legislation to give effect to the proposals set out in the White Paper on Racial Discrimination shortly. The published Bill will make clear the scale of resources which, subject to the approval of Parliament, it is intended to allocate to the new Commission and the level of staffing which that will permit.
