HC Deb 23 May 1975 vol 892 c681W
Mr. Aitken

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has any plans to make funds available for the building of children's adventure playgrounds in the Thanet area.

Mr. Kaufman

Funds for adventure playgrounds are normally obtained through the urban programme. However, any local authority may apply for subsidy in connection with the provision of play space on new or existing housing estates to the extent that it does not exceed the standards set out in the Department's Circular 79/72.
