HC Deb 22 March 1944 vol 398 c866W
Mr. Glanville

asked the President of the Board of Education what steps have been taken to prevent the encroachment:, for the purpose of building hostels for colliery trainees, on the playing field of Annfield Plain Intermediary School.

Mr. Ede

My right hon. Friend has been in communication with my Noble Friend the Minister of Works in the matter, and while it has not proved practicable, having regard to all the circumstances, to avoid some encroachment on this playing field it has been found possible to make arrangements which will release nearly half the field.
