Playing Fields 52. Mrs. Slater asked the Minister of Education what steps she proposes to take to provide facilities for playing fields for groups of schools where no provision exists at present. Mr. Pickthorn I would refer to the answer which my right hon. Friend gave the hon. Lady on 10th December last, when she stated that under the policy set out in Circular 245 playing fields might be provided with the aid of grant from the Department where they are associated with new schools but not otherwise, and that she could not say when she would be able to relax this policy.
