HC Deb 13 December 1996 vol 287 cc374-5W
Miss Hoey

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if she will make a statement on the future of Crystal Palace national sports centre. [8332]

Mr. Sproat

The future of the facilities at Crystal Palace national sports centre are, in the first instance, a matter for Bromley borough council and the Sports Council. In taking forward the initiatives in "Sport: Raising the Game", it will be necessary, however, to consider the future of the national sports centres currently operated by the Sports Council to see how the objectives of the sports policy statement can best be achieved within the resources and opportunities available.
