HC Deb 29 July 1926 vol 198 c2350W
Colonel ENGLAND

asked the Minister of Health whether he takes at any time, any action to stimulate local authorities who possess statutory powers fur the purpose of ensuring the provision of suitable playing fields for their respective communities?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The statutory powers in this matter are not confined to particular local authorities, and the policy indicated in the reply given to the hon. Member for Acton (Sir H. Brittain) on the 9th June to which I have previously referred the hon. and gallant Gentleman is applied to local authorities generally.
