HC Deb 25 July 1974 vol 877 c563W
Mr. George

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many sports grounds—and the acreage—have been lost as a result of property development in the last five years; (a) in the country as a whole and (b) the West Midlands.

Mr. Oakes

I regret this information is not available and cannot be provided without disproportionate expenditure of time and effort, although I believe it is sufficiently high to give cause for concern.
