§ Mrs. DunwoodyTo ask the Attorney-General what representations the Treasury Solicitor has received concerning the self-misrepresentations of Lynx as a charity; what reply he has sent; what further action he will take in the light of continued misrepresentation in relation to donations from the profits deriving from sales of the "Eat Your own Pet Cookbook"; and if he will make a statement.
§ The Attorney-GeneralOn a number of occasions since October 1987 the Treasury Solicitor has received 443W complaints from solicitors acting for the British Fur Trade Association about statements, which have appeared in four publications, suggesting that Lynx, a campaigning body opposed to the trade in animal furs, is a charity. On each occasion the Treasury Solicitor has on my behalf made inquiries of the directors of Lynx, as a result of which I have in each case been satisfied that Lynx itself is not responsible for the alleged misrepresentations and has not sought to hold itself out as a charity.
