HL Deb 28 April 1980 vol 408 cc1119-20WA
Lord BROCKWAY

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will ask the Commission for Racial Equality on what grounds they vetoed the appointment of Mr. John Mastrontone as Senior Community Relations Officer for Wolverhampton and whether they will state the reply received.

Lord BELSTEAD

No. The commission is an independent body and we do not consider it appropriate to intervene in individual decisions of this kind.
