§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will earmark cash in the Sports Council grant aid to enable the Sports Council to list the current stock of school playing fields land.
§ Sir Hector Monro[holding answer 18 June 1992]: School playing fields in the public sector are the responsibility of education authorities and the Scottish Sports Council has no role in their provision, maintenance, or use. I am aware that the Sports Council of Great Britain has been commissioned to compile a register of recreational land, including school playing fields, for England. I am keeping the need for such a register in Scotland under review.
