HL Deb 28 March 2001 vol 624 c36WA
Lord Lloyd-Webber

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have any proposals to increase the stock of swimming pools of a 50—metre length that are suitable for training young swimmers to Olympic standards. [HL1221]

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

Sport England are working closely with the Amateur Swimming Association and the Amateur Swimming Federation of Great Britain to produce a National Facilities Strategy for Swimming which I hope will be published before the end of April. This strategy will contain details on the provision of 50—metre pools throughout the UK.
