HC Deb 01 December 1981 vol 14 c106W
26. Mr. McNally

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will introduce legislation to prevent local authorities disposing of school sporting and recreational facilities for building speculation and other purposes.

No. The disposal of any school playing fields surplus to the minimum requirements prescribed in the Education (School Premises) Regulations 1981 is a matter for individual local authorities.
