HC Deb 29 June 1965 vol 715 c48W
64. Mr. Shinwell

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what financial provision is available to the Peterlee, County Durham, Development Corporation for additional amenity requirements, such as an indoor swimming pool, youth clubs and entertainment.

Mr. MacColl

The provision of recreational facilities is the responsibility of the local authority but the Peterlee Development Corporation has, with my right hon. Friend's approval, contributed £80,000 towards a central youth club and two sports and social centres. Contributions to other projects, including a swimming bath, are under discussion.
