HC Deb 07 March 1978 vol 945 c546W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that during the year 1976–77 the community race services and community relations expenditure totalled £48,216,000 and in the year 1977–78 the amount is £50,271,000; and, as immigration is now a mere trickle, what is the reason for this increase.

Mr. John

These figures cover a wide range of expenditure, very little of which can be attributed in any way to the rate of immigration.
