HC Deb 18 January 1982 vol 16 cc11-2W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, pursuant to his reply to the hon. Member for Macclesfield of 18 December, he will take steps to restrict the payments of grants by the Commission for Racial Equality for research, project aid and self-help entirely to non-political organisations; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Whitelaw

No. The commission has assured us that it does not give grants for political purposes.
