§ Mr. Edward DaveyTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (1) what estimate he has made of the number of voluntary-managed tennis clubs in England and Wales; [12708]
(2) what estimate he has made of the percentage of voluntary-managed tennis clubs in England and Wales which are tenants of (a) local authorities, (b) private landowners and (c) public companies. [12709]
§ Mr. BanksMy Department has made no estimate of the number of voluntary-managed tennis clubs in England and Wales or the type of tenure they might have. However, I am pleased that the Lawn Tennis Association is carrying out a comprehensive survey which should address these issues. The results will be available next year.
