HC Deb 29 March 1961 vol 637 cc1323-4
27. Sir M. Stoddart-Scott

asked the Minister of Transport if he will state the number of cricket fields, football grounds, hockey pitches, tennis courts, golf courses, swimming pools and other sports facilities which are to be destroyed or curtailed in the Ilkley Urban District Council area by the trunk road which it is planned to make through Wharfedale.

Mr. Hay

Because the line of the Ilkley by-pass established by statutory order would seriously affect recreational facilities in Ilkley, we are arranging for a survey to be made to see if a practicable alternative can be found.
