§ 92. Mr. Harold Daviesasked the Minister of Education if he is aware that the Coal Industry Social Welfare Organisation is prepared to assist in the establishment of a new social welfare centre in Weston Coyney, Stoke-on-Trent; if he is further aware that the preparatory work for the centre is complete, and that the cost is likely to be in the region of £8,500; and if he will make a contribution towards the cost, having regard to the fact that the centre would be for the benefit of the whole community and not for the mining community alone.
§ Mr. Geoffrey LloydI have been aware of this proposal, but Weston Coyney already has a community centre, which my Department helped to equip in 1954. If it needs enlarging, I might be able to make a further grant. I do not feel able, however, to contribute towards the cost of a second centre in this small area.
