HC Deb 15 January 1981 vol 996 c570W
Mr. Stanbrook

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if it is intended to appeal against the ruling of Mr. Justice Woolf as to the power of the Commission for Racial Equality to institute a study of immigration procedures; and, if not, why not.

Mr. Raison

No. The purpose of the court proceedings was to seek clarification of the extent of the commission's powers. That clarification was given.
