Better Not Be Paying For This.

My local MP has had a complaint made against him to the police for raising the issue of whether to ban the burqa*:

An MP was investigated by police for inciting racial hatred over controversial comments about the burkha following complaints from a human rights association.
........

Now it has emerged police received a complaint about the Kettering MP a few days after his comments from the Northamptonshire Rights and Equality Council (NREC).

So does anyone know who the NREC are? They appear to be registered as a company rather than a charity and were formerly the Northamptonshire Racial Equality Council, as I cannot find any reference to them on the Charity Commission website. However they have a bunch of local councillors on their committee and a name that implies Quangodom or Fake-Charityness.

Basically I want to know whether they are receiving public money, because their behaviour is not something I wish to subsidise. So if anyone knows how to go about finding out then please leave a comment.

* As I have said before I don't approve of banning items of clothing like the burqa.

Update: Mark Wadsworth points to their accounts which do indeed reveal that NREC is in receipt of lots of money from various local authorities in Northamptonshire. As Julia says it should make it easy for them to work out where they can find cuts.
