Sports: Voluntary Organisations

Volume 474: debated on Thursday 3 April 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what estimate he has made of the number of charities running local authority sports and leisure centres which provide access to spas or saunas for those who pay for access to swimming pools. (199293)

Specific information on the delivery of leisure services by local authorities and the number providing access to spas or saunas for those who pay for access to swimming pools is not centrally collated. However, the Audit Commission report of June 2006, “Public sports and recreation services: making them fit for the future”, suggests that some 22 per cent. of public leisure facilities in England are provided through trusts.
