HC Deb 19 October 1995 vol 264 cc374-5W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many school playing fields have been sold since 1979. [36221]

Mrs. Gillan

There is no reliable historical information on the level of school playing field disposals. The Sports Council's register of recreational land, which is not yet complete, is designed to ensure that better information is available in future.
