HC Deb 30 May 1968 vol 765 c264W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he is aware that the Greater London Council has increased its fees for the use of football playing fields from 16s. to 35s. and, as this is contrary to the Government's prices and incomes policy and will price many smaller football clubs out of use of these football pitches, whether he will refer these increases to the National Board for Prices and Incomes.

Mr. Denis Howell

I have been made aware by a number of organisations and individuals of the increased charges by the Greater London Council and I am looking into the question in conjunction with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Housing and Local Government.
