HC Deb 13 May 1965 vol 712 cc100-1W
31. Mr. Newens

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what response has been made by local authorities to his proposals on the establishment of sporting and recreational facilities.

Mr. Denis Howell

The proposals in the joint circular of August, 1964, on co-ordination and joint planning of facilities have been acted upon in a number of areas, but I am anxious to see a greater urgency throughout the country. The Sports Council is advising my right hon. Friend on further possible action.
