HC Deb 25 November 1970 vol 807 c123W
Mr. Lamond

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will approve the provision of new swimming baths in Oldham; and if he will make public money available for their construction.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

No. All the capital investment allocated for sport and recreation in the present financial year is already fully committed but under the new arrangements recently announced Oldham will be able to decide its own priorities after 1st April, 1971.
