§ Mr. Worsleyasked the Minister of Public Building and Works whether he is satisfied that the football pitches laid out in the Royal Parks are in all cases sufficiently far from footpaths to avoid risk of injury to persons walking on the footpaths; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MellishIt would not be possible to eliminate all risk of injury without drastically reducing the number of football pitches. Pitches are, however, carefully laid out to reduce this risk to a minimum and accidents are very rare.
