§ Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLEasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the fact that the recent increases in the assessment of private sports grounds used not for profit but for playing games by the members of amateur clubs will inevitably have the effect of causing many such grounds to be given up, with the result that increased demands will be made upon local authorities to provide public recreation grounds, he will grant facilities for the early passage into Law of the Playing Fields (Exemption from Rating) Bill, now before Parliament?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI regret that I can hold out no hope of facilities being given for this Bill.
