HC Deb 29 June 1984 vol 62 c531W
Mr. Terlezki

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether his request to local authorities to dispose of surplus land was intended to be applied by the authorities to school playing fields; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Stradling Thomas

The Government believe that all surplus land held by public authorities should be disposed of. It is for local authorities themselves to decide in each case whether land used for educational purposes is surplus to requirements.
