HC Deb 20 July 1964 vol 699 cc22-3W
61 and 62. Mr. Dance

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) when discussions will start between his Department and the new town corporation to ensure that there will be adequate recreational facilities, including youth clubs, in the new town of Redditch;

(2) what planning and what consultations have begun to ensure that the new town of Redditch will have adequate schools for all age groups.

Mr. Chataway

The Development Corporation has only recently been appointed. It will be for it to discuss the educational and recreational needs of the new town with the local authorities concerned. My Department will no doubt be consulted when firm proposals for adequate facilities to match the town's growth are being considered.
