§ Mr. Normantonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his policy towards the implementation of the recommendations contained in the House of Lords Select Committee on Sport and Leisure; and what steps have been taken in that regard.
§ Mr. Denis HowellMany of the recommendations of these very useful reports are of course directed to local authorities and national agencies and I 127W am sure they have found much value in them. As for those recommendations of Government concern, my Department has the major interest in matters of sport and leisure, and I am preparing a statement of policy which will be published during the summer.
