HC Deb 27 June 1973 vol 858 c350W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Home Affairs, in view of the lack of recreational facilities for children in deprived areas, if he will increase the money available under the urban aid programme.

Mr. Lane

Recreational facilities were among the projects funded from additional expenditure of £1.8 million approved under the urban programme last year. My right hon. Friend expects to approve more projects of this kind under the current phase of the programme, for which applications are due by 2nd July.
