HC Deb 26 July 1985 vol 83 c903W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what additional funds he proposes to make available for sporting schemes in the Greater London area.

Mr. Macfarlane

[pursuant to his reply, 25 July 1985]: It will be for London boroughs to assume full responsibility for the provision of sport and recreation in London on 1 April 1986. As already indicated, some additional central funding will be made available, through the Sports Council, for projects, schemes and facilities of wider than local significance. I am at present considering the Sports Council's case for such additional funding and will make an announcement in due course.
