HL Deb 01 April 1982 vol 428 cc1571-2WA
Lord Jenkins of Putney

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they are aware that one of the purposes of the British Atlantic Committee has been described as that of countering the activities of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and whether it is appropriate for such a body to be a registered charity.

Lord Trefgarne

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office makes a grant to the British Atlantic Committee to support it in its aim of promoting understanding of the North Atlantic Alliance, and of the issues in which the alliance is involved. Whether it is appropriate for the British Atlantic Committee to be a registered charity is for the Charity Commission to decide.
