HC Deb 27 January 1982 vol 16 c356W
Mr. Robert C. Brown

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many Polish nationals have sought and been granted refuge in the United Kingdom in the last three years and in the last three months.

Mr. Raison

The figures for 1979, 1980 and 1981 were as follows:

to the legal profession, banks and other bodies, of two formulæ which could be used by those organising appeal funds. Depending on which formula was used the public would be in no doubt as to the charitable or non-charitable status of the fund. So far as the establishment of charitable trusts is concerned, the Charity Commissioners have given guidance in their annual reports to Parliament, most recently in their report for 1980, and are always prepared to give advice to appeals organisers as a matter of urgency. Subsequent difficulties may be avoided if the commissioners are consulted before firm decisions are taken about the purposes of the appeal.
