HC Deb 26 July 1976 vol 916 cc12-3W
Miss Richardson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that an organisation called the Institute for the Study of Conflict has been giving lectures at Bramshill Police College on subversion; and whether he will give an assurance that all links between the police and ISC have been terminated and that steps have been taken to prevent ISC establishing any future links with police training colleges.

Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in view of the facts that lectures have been given at police training colleges by the Institute for the Study of Conflict and that the institute has close contacts with the Rhodesian and South African secret services, he will prohibit any further lectures from that body.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

I have nothing to add to the reply that I gave to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Manchester, Blackley (Mr. Rose) on 1st April.—[Vol. 908, c. 553.]

Miss Richardson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many other police colleges besides Bramshill Police College have received lectures from employees of the Institute for the Study of Conflict, or subscribe to their publication "Conflict Studies".

Mr. Roy Jenkins

No police training establishments for which the Home Office is responsible other than Bramshill have received lectures from employees of the Institute for the Study of Conflict or subscribe to its publication "Conflict Studies".
