HC Deb 29 November 1948 vol 458 c1632
51. Mr. George Ward

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will now release the ground at Perdiswell Park, used before the war by the Worcester Rugby Football Club, in view of the shortage of playing fields in Worcester.

Mr. G. Brown

The Worcestershire Agricultural Executive Committee has received no request that this land should be permitted to return to recreational use. If such a request is made by the Worcestershire City Corporation, who are the lessees, on the ground that the need for additional recreational facilities is such as to justify the diversion of this land from food production, my right hon. Friend will see that the case is considered.
