Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many children have been involved in road accidents while skateboarding on public roads and pavements in Wales during the last 12 months; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Barry Jones

This information is not available. I am writing to the hon. Member about the matter generally.

Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what representations he has received concerning the dangers caused by skateboarding in public places and the need to provide special facilities for skateboarding.

Mr. Barry Jones

Three representations have been received, one from the National Playing Fields Association and two from children in South Wales. All requested that proper facilities be provided.
