§ Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will have discussions with the London borough of Brent and other bodies concerned with race relations about the possible effects of letters purporting to come from the Brent Housing Department regarding accommodation for refugees from Malawi.
§ Mr. ArmstrongI have been asked to reply.
I understand that a number of residents on the Abbey Estate, Alperton, have 692W received letters purporting to come from the Brent Borough Council's Housing Manager. The letters are obviously crude forgeries. Officials have been in touch with the council and I am satisfied that further action on my part is not necessary.
