§ 14. Mr. Dalyellasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what study he is making for the use of industrial and military sports facilities by the whole community.
Mr. Edward TaylorThe use by the general public of industrial sports facilities in Scotland is being considered by the Sports Council for Scotland, and the Government have been examining the possibility of extending the public use of Service sports facilities in Great Britain as a whole. The extent to which such sports facilities are made available to the general public has been increasing and I hope to see a continued improvement.
§ Mr. DalyellWhen will the examination be complete?
Mr. TaylorThis matter is being constantly considered. It is not a question of a particular report coming forward. I can assure the hon. Gentleman that we shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that facilities are made available to as wide a section of the public as possible.
