HC Deb 13 April 1988 vol 131 c143W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will issue guidance to police forces concerning contacts with the Economic League.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We see no grounds for doing so.

Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will now inquire into alleged connections between the Economic League and the police forces of the United Kingdom.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

An inquiry was made by North Yorkshire police in March 1987 into allegations about the activities of the Economic League in that force's area. I am not aware of any other allegations about connections between the Economic League and the police. If the hon. Member has a specific case in mind, perhaps he would let me know.
