Mr. Gareth ThomasTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many public sports facilities in(a) Harrow, (b) London and (c) England are in need of refurbishment; and if she will make a statement. [104831]
§ Mr. CabornFigures on the number of public sports facilities in Harrow, London and England, which are in need of refurbishment are not available. Local authorities are the key providers of sport and recreation facilities in their areas and significant investment from the National Lottery has helped to create new state of the art community facilities. DCMS, in partnership with Sport England is developing an England-wide database 365W of sports facilities, which will enable more strategic Government investment in those areas and facilities that are most important.
