HC Deb 31 January 1961 vol 633 c113W
96. Mr. Prentice

asked the Minister of Education whether he will set up a Sports Development Council with an annual grant from the Exchequer, as recommended by the Committee on Sport presided over by Sir John Wolfenden.

Sir D. Eccles

The Report of the Wolfenden Committee on Sport and the Community covers a very wide field, and the proposal for the establishment of a Sports Development Council is linked with a number of other recommendations for Government action. These recommendations are being carefully studied, but I am not yet in a position to make a statement.
