HC Deb 19 January 1977 vol 924 cc225-6W
Mr. Rose

asked the Attorney-General whether, in the light of the latest conviction in Bristol and the information supplied to him, he will instruct the Director of Public Prosecutions to take action against those responsible for counselling, procuring and abetting the collection of funds without permits and the obtaining of money by deception by members of the various associations, charities and limited companies associated with the Sun Myung Moon Foundation and the Unification Church.

The Solicitor-General

I have asked for a report on the case mentioned by my hon. Friend. If evidence emerges which would justify further police inquiries I will, of course, refer it to the DPP.

Mr. Rose

asked the Attorney-General whether he will refer to the Director of Public Prosecutions evidence of a conspiracy by trustees of the Sun Myung Moon Foundation and the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity and associated limited companies to raise loans of up to £600,000 with the intention illegally to export these sums to the United States of America.

The Solicitor-General

No such evidence has been supplied to me.
