Mr. Wyatt: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when he began an investigation into share trading with the public
listed company Chelsea Village; how many hidden trusts own Chelsea Village plc shares; how many of these hidden trusts are
registered in the West Indies; and if hidden trusts have traded Chelsea Village shares between themselves. [159527]
Dr. Howells: I cannot discuss the affairs of individual companies but if the hon. Member has information to suggest that there
should be an investigation into the ownership of shares of Chelsea Village plc the Department will consider it.

Mr. Luff: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what discussions he has had with British
Waterways about the level of charges for hire boat licences they will impose this year on operators affected by canal closures.
[155251]
Mr. Meacher: [holding answer 23 March 2001]:
Decisions on the level of charges for hire boat licences are an operational matter for British Waterways. They recognise that canal
closures have presented difficulties for waterway businesses and have agreed to defer the date for payments of hire boat licences
from 1 April 2001 to 1 June 2001. This arrangement applies to both those who pay by instalments and those who pay in a single
payment.
I refer the hon. Member to my statement to the House on 20 March 2001, Official Report, columns 191-210, when I reported on the work
of the Rural Taskforce. We are developing a package of measures to alleviate the immediate financial hardship of small businesses in
rural areas which have been hit by the sudden drop in visitors and other knock-on effects of foot and mouth disease. The taskforce
will continue its work and we will want to consider any further Government response in light of the latest developments.

Ms Rosie Winterton: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what advice he has issued about
planning for sport, open space and recreation. [155261]
Ms Beverley Hughes: I am today issuing a consultation paper which proposes new, more robust planning policies for sport, open space
and recreation. The proposed revision of Planning Policy Guidance note 17: Sport and Recreation (PPG17) follows our commitment in
the Urban and Rural White Papers to creating more sustainable communities that offer a better quality of life.
The draft guidance contains key messages that planning authorities must take into account in preparing their plans and in making
planning decisions. It advises authorities to: conduct assessments of the need for sport, open space and recreational provision in
their areas; plan for additional sports and recreation facilities including playing fields, open spaces, parks, sports centres and
stadia where there is an identified shortfall; protect the existing range of open air and built recreation facilities which are of
value to local communities. Authorities should resist the development of open space unless it can be shown that it is not needed for
outdoor recreation; ensure that new developments are provided with attractive, good quality sports and recreation facilities; locate
facilities so that they are accessible by walking, cycling and public transport; and locate "intensive" recreation facilities such
as indoor sports centres in or on the edge of town centres where possible so that they can lend vitality to them.
It is essential to their quality of life that people have access to open space and a wide range of sporting and recreational
facilities. We are proposing a systematic assessment procedure to assist local authorities in determining whether any shortfall in
the provision of open space, sports or recreational facilities exists in their areas. This will help them in planning to remedy any
deficiencies. The draft guidance reinforces current measures to safeguard existing open space and further protects playing fields,
which are vitally important to the health and well being of our young people, as well as benefiting the wider community.
Copies of the consultation draft of PPG17 have been placed in the Library and Vote Office. It will be sent to local planning
authorities, developers, sporting organisations and other interested parties, and responses to the draft guidance are invited by
Friday 15 June.

Mr. Gareth R. Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what discussions she has had with the Scottish Parliament about
plans to increase access to water for non-powered craft; and if she will make a statement. [153683]
Mrs. Liddell: I understand that the draft Land Reform (Scotland) Bill, which is currently out to public consultation, contains
provisions for creating a right of responsible access to inland waters for non-powered craft.
This is a devolved matter and, while I have seen the Scottish Executive's consultation paper on the draft Bill, this is not a matter
within my responsibility.

Mr. Robert Ainsworth: I have seen the Scottish Executive's consultation paper on the draft Land Reform (Scotland) Bill and we will
observe its progress with interest. So far as access to water for non-powered craft in England and Wales is concerned, my officials
have held discussions with a number of interested parties following which we recently let a contract led by the University of
Brighton to establish the facts about participation.

Mr. Luff: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what assessment he has made of the impact of
the closure of the British Waterways' canal network on the leisure boating and narrow boat rental sectors; and if he will make a
statement. [153820]
Mr. Robert Ainsworth: [holding answer 15 March 2001]: British Waterways (BW) closed access to all its waterways located in affected
and restricted areas from the beginning of the month to help limit the spread of foot and mouth disease. The closure applies where
county councils have taken powers to close rights of way and prevents all non-essential use of the waterways concerned.
The Government have established a task force chaired by my right hon. Friend the Minister for the Environment to consider the
implications of the outbreak of foot and mouth disease for the rural economy. The implications for the canal network (and other
waterways) will be within the ambit of this group which will be considering whether and where it is safe to reopen rights of way,
including waterways. The task force will also help those caught up in the crisis and measures to help the rural economy once the
outbreak has been eradicated.

Mr. Alan Howarth: It is not possible to list spending on leisure services in the private and voluntary sectors. However, local
authorities do report their own expenditure on leisure services and these data are shown for Staffordshire and every other county{1}
in England on a per head basis in the table. Local authorities report their own expenditure on library services and this is also
shown for
Staffordshire and other counties{1} in England on a per head basis. A definition for this expenditure data follows.
The SSA system does not make a separate provision for library or leisure services; rather these are two of the many services funded
through the Environmental, Protective and Cultural Services SSA Block. Consequently I am unable to provide the information
requested.
Definition of Expenditure Date
Expenditure on services is defined as net current expenditure on employees and running expenses less sales, fees, charges, internal
recharges, other non-grant income (such as receipts from other authorities). It is gross of expenditure funded by specific and
special grants.
{1} The figure for each county includes all local authorities within that area.

Mr. Gareth R. Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what recent discussions his
Department have had with national park authorities about access to water for non-powered craft; and if he will make a statement.
[145438]
Mr. Mullin: My officials have had discussions on access to water for non-powered craft with a number of park authorities in the
normal course of business. In addition, we expect shortly to commence a research project on access to water, in which the
researchers are likely to consult the park authorities.

Mr. Coaker: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what plans he has to review the adequacy and availability of
leisure and recreation facilities to young people in all areas of the United Kingdom. [142832]
Kate Hoey: Sport England assists local authorities in assessing the need for facilities via its Facilities Planning Model and its
statutory role in the planning system in relation to disposals of playing fields. Discussions are continuing between my officials,
Sport England and the Local Government Association on the most appropriate means of drawing together information on sports
facilities.
The provision of sport and recreation facilities in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is a matter for the devolved
Administrations.
