asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action he is taking to implement the provisions of the Race Relations Act 1965 dealing with racial discrimination.

Under Section 2 of the Act the first duty that devolves on me is to appoint a Race Relations Board, which will be responsible for setting up the local conciliation committees by whom complaints of discrimination in contravention of the Act are to be considered. I hope shortly to be able to announce the full composition of the Board.
