§ 78. Sir W. Wakefieldasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what steps he is taking because of past failure by local authorities to ensure that, when preparing plans for the redevelopment of slum clearance areas for housing purposes, local authorities follow the advice given to them concerning the adequate provision of children's playgrounds in the manual and circulars which have been distributed.
§ Mr. SandysI am not aware that local authorities generally are failing to make adequate provision. The point is however watched by my Department when layout plans are considered for approval.
