HC Deb 25 May 1994 vol 244 c204W
27. Mr. Canavan

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will introduce measures to improve sport and recreational facilities in Scotland.

Sir Hector Monro

The provision of sport and recreational facilities is primarily for local authorities to determine. The Scottish Sports Council, funded by Government and which provides national specialist sports facilities at Inverclyde, Cumbrae and Glenmore Lodge, offers an expert advisory service to local authorities for new development in sport facilities. The national lottery will offer exciting opportunities for further improvement of sport and recreational facilities throughout Scotland.
