HC Deb 19 January 1981 vol 997 c66W
Mr. Freeson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how he intends to ensure that local authorities apply adequate standards to children's play space; what action he intends to take to issue fresh guidance to local authorities on children's play space to replace circular 79/72; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Stanley

When the new arrangements for housing project control come into effect in 198 1–82, it will be for local authorities to decide what standards, including those for play space, represent good value in their individual housing schemes.
