HC Deb 01 March 1977 vol 927 cc142-3W
Mr. Macfarlane

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how much money was spent by her Department during 1976 on sport and recreation for young people.

Miss Margaret Jackson

Although the educational objectives of this Department's programme encompass a wide variety of sporting and recreational activities mounted by schools and other institutions and by the Youth Service, it is not possible to identify separately the cost of these from the educational expenditures involved.
