Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will increase funds to the Sports Council and local authorities to purchase company sports grounds in urban areas which are being sold due to the recession, in order to prevent their loss to the community.

Mr. Macfarlane

The Sports Council was recently allocated an extra £2.5 million for capital projects in the current financial year.
