HC Deb 05 July 1972 vol 840 cc131-2W
68. Mr. Tilney

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what requests he has received for grants for the expansion of recreational facilities on Merseyside; and whether he will grant extra help for the City of Liverpool to take over the recreation grounds of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company which are now up for sale for other purposes.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

There were six applications last year from organisations on Merseyside for grant towards the cost of sports facilities. Future decisions about such grants will be for the Sports Council to take.
