HC Deb 11 January 1994 vol 235 c43W
Mr. Cash

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the powers he has under English and Community law to prevent the European Union providing financial resources within the United Kingdom to British organisations for a purpose which is avowedly political within the United Kingdom.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Within the United Kingdom, organisations which are duly constituted and have lawful objectives are entitled to seek funding from any source. There are no powers under domestic or Community law to prevent funds being disbursed on behalf of the European Union in accordance with Community law.
