HC Deb 27 October 1976 vol 918 cc212-3W
Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) whether, in the light of the investigations being undertaken by the United States of America Revenue Service into the financial affairs of the Unification Church, he will undertake similar inquiries into the bodies connected with that organisation in the United Kingdom;

(2) whether, in the light of the evidence now before the US Congressional Committee of Inquiry linking Mr. Pak and Mr. Sun Myung Moon and other leading members of the Unification Church with corrupt practices and association with South Korean intelligence and propaganda agencies, he will inquire into the security implications of the network of organisations connected with the Unification Church in the United Kingdom.

Dr. Summerskill

We have asked for information to be obtained about the investigations by the U.S.A. Revenue Service to which my hon. Friend refers. As my hon. Friend knows, we are awaiting information about the Congressional Committee of Inquiry, to which he also refers. On receipt of this information we will consider whether any further action is called for on our part.
