§ 54. Mr. Andrew HargreavesTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what measures he is taking to co-ordinate the activities of city action teams and inner-city task forces.
§ Mr. MoynihanEffective co-ordination of Government action in the larger cities is delivered through the city action teams while the inner-city task forces operate at a more local level based in the heart of inner-city districts. The CATs and task forces work closely together to bring about regeneration in their areas.
On 6 December my hon. Friend the Minister of State announced the formation of a new ministerial team to spearhead and co-ordinate action in inner-cities. Each city action team and inner-city task force now has a Minister to advise and assist it in its vital regeneration work.
