HC Deb 12 August 1966 vol 733 c426W
Mr. Rowland

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why no part of the Government's grant of £500,000 to the World Cup competition was spent on improving the unsatisfactory conditions of access for spectators approaching and leaving Wembley Stadium on foot, and in improving the appearance of Olympic Way.

Mr. Redhead

Because improvements of this kind were not regarded as being as important as the other projects to which money was allocated.

Mr. Rowland

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how much of the Government's grant of £500,000 to the World Cup competition was spent on improving the facilities of Wembley Stadium.
