§ Mr. Cantasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what Government assistance is being given towards the provision of a sports centre for the physically disabled at Stoke Mandeville.
§ Mr. Denis HowellI am pleased to say that the Department of Education and Science is making a grant to the Paraplegic Sports Endowment Fund of £30,000 towards the capital cost of this centre, which will enable the annual Stoke Mandeville Games to continue to be held and provide the first indoor sports facilities specifically designed for the physically handicapped. These facilities are likely to be used by the able-bodied members of the community as well as the physically handicapped.
