§ Mr. Parkerasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education 1831W whether he is aware that a scheme was recently submitted to the Essex National Fitness Committee asking their approval for a sports and social centre to serve Leytonstone, Leyton, Wanstead, Walthamstow and Woodford; and if he can make an inquiry as to why this approval has been withheld and the scheme held up despite the strong support it has received locally?
Mr. LindsayYes, Sir. I understand that the application was submitted to the Essex National Fitness Committee in incomplete form, as the promoter supplied no information as to whether, and, if so, in what terms, he would be able to obtain the site in contemplation, which is understood to be part of Epping Forest. The committee have therefore felt unable to forward the application with their observations to the National Fitness Council until the relevant information about the site is available.
