HC Deb 02 February 1989 vol 146 c390W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will call for a report from the Charity Commission as to why it refused to look into allegations of ballot rigging in the affairs of the English Folk Dance and Song Society.

Mr. John Patten

No. The propriety of the Society's recent election is a matter for the society itself and ultimately for the courts.
