HC Deb 06 November 1930 vol 244 c1032
63 Mr. LEES

asked the President of the Board of Education (1) what amount of money has been spent on playing fields for the following schools: Long Row, Church of England, Pottery and Fleet schools, Be1per, during the years 1927, 1928, 1929, and up to September, 1930;

(2) what has been the cost of the playing field of the Strutts secondary school, Belper, during the years 1927, 1928, 1929, and up to September, 1930;

(3) what has been the cost of the playing field of the secondary school, Swanwick, during 1928–29 and up to September, 1930?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

I am afraid that the information at my disposal does not enable me to give particulars of the total expenditure incurred on these playing fields in the years in question. Such expenditure might take the form of annual loan charges, rent, cost of conditioning, and cost of upkeep; but if my hon. Friend will let me know the precise information which he requires, I will see if I can obtain it for him.

Mr. LEES

Is it not reasonable to ask how much has been spent on these playgrounds for the schools?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

Yes, but I have not the information. I will get some information and give it to my hon. Friend.
