HC Deb 03 December 1981 vol 14 cc209-10W
Mr. Colvin

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what contribution his Department has made towards provision for the recreational needs of children.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

The Department is not responsible for providing for the recreational needs of children. However, some activities supported by the Department, in particular services for the under-fives, such as playgroups, have a recreational aspect.
