§ Mr. Kilfedderasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, in view of the fact that the next annual report of the Standing Advisory Commission on Human Rights will include a report on the matter of clubs which receive grants from public funds and which have restricted membership, such as the Gaelic Athletic Association, if he will now take steps to ensure that no further public funds are made available to clubs which restrict membership on political or religious grounds.
§ Mr. Humphrey AtkinsThere are no plans to change existing Government policy on grants to voluntary sports clubs. I shall naturally give careful consideration to the views of the Standing 533W Advisory Commission on Human Rights when they are made known to me.
