HC Deb 16 June 1988 vol 135 c203W
Mr. Wray

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what information he has on the average cost of replacing the concrete or tarmac surfaces in children's playgrounds.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

Costs vary greatly depending on the contractor's charges and the type of surface used, ranging from relatively cheap surfaces such as sand, to expensive wetpore surfaces which can cost in excess of £100 per square metre.
