HC Deb 02 December 1975 vol 901 cc535-6W
Mr. John H. Osborn

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is satisfied with the arrangements between district councils, county councils, regional planning councils, his Department and the Commission for preparing schemes for either national or European Regional Fund assistance to provide employment in areas of high unemployment.

Mr. John Silkin

The arrangements for preparing schemes for national or European Regional Development Fund assistance vary according to the circumstances of the case, but I have no evidence that they are not satisfactory.
