HC Deb 22 January 1986 vol 90 c181W
Mr. Winnick

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will state the number of those from an ethnic minority background who are employed in his private office and those of other Ministers within his Department; and what are the positions they occupy.
