HC Deb 13 December 1972 vol 848 c141W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will consider advising local authorities to examine the facilities for small recreational areas required in housing areas; and what steps he has taken in this matter since 16th August.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I am taking every opportunity to draw to the attention of local authorities the advice on the provision of recreational areas in housing schemes which is given in the Scottish Housing Handbook; and since 16th August I have approved a number of environmental improvement schemes incorporating play areas for children.
