Proceeding contribution from Fiona Mactaggart (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 December 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Children's Plan.


Children's Plan

I warmly welcome the Secretary of State's proposal for a safe place for every child to play, but is he aware that Slough borough council, when challenged to produce a play strategy, planned to close local play areas rather than repair the dangerous and crumbling equipment in them? Will he place a duty on every local authority to ensure that there are safe play areas in every neighbourhood, and penalise those local authorities that take this opportunity to cut their local play areas?
