HC Deb 16 May 1973 vol 856 cc318-9W
Mr. Cordle

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will continue support for the 1973 "Learn to Swim" campaign, in view of the latest statistics of drowning, by encouraging the appropriate authorities to make their facilities available.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

As in 1972, all local authorities have been told of the Government's strong endorsement of the campaign, details of which have been sent to them by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. Local councils have been invited by the Home Office to support the campaign. The campaign will also be publicised on television.
