Mr. Denis Howell
I am informed that grants towards the construction of local authority sports centres have been approved by the Sports Council and the Sports Council for Wales as shown in the following table. Grant aid is not given towards running costs. Details of grants approved before 1972—when the executive sports councils were established—are not to hand.
Names shown in brackets are those of the pre-reorganisation counties, where they differ from the present ones.
