HC Deb 10 February 1988 vol 127 c267W
Mr. Simon Coombs

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services how much his Department spent, in each of the last three years for which figures are available, on the promotion of swimming as a form of healthy exercise.

Mrs. Currie

The promotion of swimming is not funded by the Department. The Health Education Authority includes swimming in its promotion of exercise as one aspect of a healthier way of life. It is not possible to quantify the cost of this separately.
