§ Mr. Marlowasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will now answer questions on grants given by the Equal Opportunities Commission.
§ Mr. RaisonWhile my right hon. Friend has never declined to answer any question about such grants where the question related to matters which were within his responsibility or concerned the scope of that responsibility, substantive decisions about the making of grants by the Equal Opportunities Commission under section 54 of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 are entirely the responsibility of the Commission and he has no standing in such matters.
