Children's Play

HC Deb 18 November 1982 vol 32 cc225-6W

Mr. Harold Walker

asked the Minister for the Civil Service (1) if he is now able to state the composition of the Advisory Committee on Children's Play;

(2) further to the statement, Official Report, 20 October, c. 483, if he will publish the recommendations of the inter-departmental committee on children's play.

Mr. Hayhoe

It is not the normal practice to publish advice by officials on machinery of Government questions nor the composition of such official working parties. The question of responsibility for children's play is still being studied by Ministers. I am not aware of any external advisory committee on children's play.
