HC Deb 29 October 1987 vol 121 cc385-6W
Mr. Adley

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will make a statement about progress on his Department's inner cities initiatives.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

I am pleased to say that the work of our 16 inner city task forces is going ahead well with more than 200 projects supported since the initiative began in February 1986. The private sector is playing a growing part in our efforts.
