HC Deb 13 March 1986 vol 93 c557W
Mr. William Shelton

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what information he has on the estimated cost of each job created by each of the enterprise agencies established by the metropolitan county councils.

Mr. Tracey

The metropolitan county councils and some other local authorities have established enterprise boards which they fund under discretionary powers. There is no statutory requirement to notify their actions and my Department does not maintain records of the cost of each job that an enterprise board may have helped to create.
