72. Miss Lestor

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government (1) if it is still his policy to approve housing schemes that do not include the provision of indoor play space for young children;

(2) how many local authorities 'now provide Indoor play space for young children in high blocks of flats:,

Mr. MacColl

My right hon. Friend seeps to ensure that housing authorities make' suitable provision for children's play but he does not at present require that any of this should be indoors. A recent' sample survey showed that about one-sixth of the authorities in the sample provided covered play space in schemes containing flats.
