The infrared photometric study of a sample of 90 3CR radio galaxies by Lilly & Longair (1984, hereafter LL) has demonstrated that the high redshift objects are brighter in the infrared than their low redshift counterparts; this has been interpreted as being entirely due to the evolution of their constituent stellar populations. There is however a great difference between the radio luminosities of the high and low redshift objects in this flux limited sample and we have therefore examined statistically the possibility of a correlation between the infrared and radio luminosities of these galaxies, the presence of which could bias our interpretation of the infrared Hubble diagram. We find that the radio and infrared luminosities do indeed correlate for the most powerful radio galaxies.
